amsn trayicon #623

Open sillysloft opened 18 years ago

sillysloft commented 18 years ago

Some times the trayicon of amsn open like a window instead of in the traydock. The amsn team said that is fluxbox fault.

check another user's screenshot:

Sorry my bad english. Bye

-----------------------------

Aveces el trayicon de amsn en ves de situarse donde corresponde aparece como una ventana, y el espacio en el traydock queda en blanco, a pesar de que se cierre el amsn. La equipo de amsn, tras el reporte del error, dice que es una falla del fluxbox.

Aqui hay una captura de otro usuario del problema:

I wouldn't take their word for it. We do get some complaints about the system tray, but we get a lot more about amsn. I tried installing it once just to debug the issues, and it crashed before it ever opened a window. I never encountered this particular bug, though. Can you give steps to reproduce it? If not, it's very unlikely that we'll be able to fix it.

For me just emerge amsn and then run it like a normal user in the normal way. If not happens, close amsn and then open it again.

It's difficul't the english for me, sorry. :P

I just emerged amsn and ran it 52 times. The bug never occurred. It did take about five seconds to show up a few times, though, and it once failed to revert focus. Either this has been magically fixed in svn or there are more specific circumstances required to reproduce the bug (e.g. other running programs, time of day, system libs, etc.). I'll look and see if I can find anything interesting in the debug output.

I try the svn and the problem still there. Here is my emerge info and my fluxbox uses # emerge -pv fluxbox

system gentoo Fluxbox 1.0_rc2-r2 amsn 0.96_rc1

Well, I do have the same problem. Restarting the amsn a few times (3-4) is enough to replicate the thing... My fealling is that it's a timmings related problem... (a shot in the dark) I don't know the fb slit api so... But apparently amsn asks for a space in the slit. The space gets reserved, but amsn slit icon end up in a smal window. The slit space is never released. Only the smal window is released. Probably the reference to the reserved space is lost. I can't say that this is a fluxbox or amsn problem yet.

I have the same problem, running fluxbox-1.0_rc2-r2 with the slit disabled, together with the latest amsn. It looks to me as if the slit does exist and amsn gets a place in it even though fluxbox should be compiled without? What happens is that amsn doesn't get a spot in the tray, but there is an empty space in the tray that never leaves.

An additional problem exists by the way, that I think is related to the first: when I get an e-mail on my msn account, amsn, again sometimes, gets an empty space on the tray instead of the e-mail icon, this time the slit doesn't seem to appear anyway.

I've been able to reproduce this a lot of times by starting up fluxbox, then starting X-chat2 (2.4.5), followed by amsn. However, if I start Opera first (right after X-chat2), which generates an icon in the systray, and start amsn after Opera, most of the time amsn will fit in nicely in the tray.

I'll try to include some additional info about libraries that might be important:

I can reproduce this bug with the qt-gui plugin of licq-1.3.2 (and newer versions) and fluxbox-1.0rc2. I thought that this is a licq bug, until I found this report. It only happens after a fresh start of x and fluxbox and only if there is no other app that uses the tray started before. I need to close licq and restart fluxbox (menu). after that everything is working fine. I do not have this problem with other apps (it seems that every gtk app that uses the tray works fine even after a fresh start of fluxbox). hope this helps...

I still can't reproduce this bug, but I've made a random attempt at a fix in fluxbox's svn version. Could someone please try it and report back?

I know how to create this bug.

aMSN 0.97 RC1 fluxbox 1.0rc3

Start fluxbox Start amsn Then go to your fluxbox menu and click reload

Once fluxbox reloads, your amsn tray-icon will appear on the top left part of screen inside a little window.

At least this works always in my computer.

That's a separate issue and is undeniably aMSN's fault. They have no code that detects when one system tray exits and another one starts.

please try with latest svn, probably fixed. If it's not, then i agree with mark_t: amsn fault for unhandled case
