0.9.9 - Size popup wrong with fixed-minimum-sized windows

[sillysloft]

The centered popup for window sizes during resize shows only the delta between the current and new size of a window if that window has a minimum size (as indicated by the program). Basically, it shows the W and H as 0 initially, and H as 20 px if you make it taller by 20px. This only affects windows that have a minimum size. I first encountered this problem with grip (the music ripper).

That is the appropriate behavior, according to the ICCCM, section 4.1.2.3:

The min_width and min_height elements specify the minimum size that the window can be for the client to be useful. The max_width and max_height elements specify the maximum size. The base_width and base_height elements in conjunction with width_inc and height_inc define an arithmetic progression of preferred window widths and heights for nonnegative integers i and j:

width = base_width + (i × width_inc) height = base_height + (j × height_inc)

Window managers are encouraged to use i and j instead of width and height in reporting window sizes to users. If a base size is not provided, the minimum size is to be used in its place and vice versa.
