multiple regressions since 0.40.0 #240

Open theofficialgman opened 1 year ago

theofficialgman commented 1 year ago

I realize this isn't the best bug report since it includes multiple regressions but I do not want to keep track of these critical issues separately.

I took some time to triage... basically yad has been broken in many ways ever since 0.41.0 (that includes 1.0, 2.0, 12.1, etc), 0.40.0 is the LAST version to work without any major problems. to give examples of what is broken in 0.41.0+:

(note, all of this is on XORG or XWAYLAND where window positioning and sizing are expected to work and functioned previously on 0.40.0)

sizing seems correct in the latest tested (12.1), but positioning is still broken. all of this is with a single monitor... multimonitor is apparently even more broken in the latest versions according to the github issues https://github.com/v1cont/yad/issues/113 https://github.com/v1cont/yad/issues/15

I guess it is a good reason that a lot of distros have not "updated" since 0.40.0 since it would be a significant downgrade due to these bugs

please do not move to any version higher than 0.40.0 to testing or stable until these bugs are resolved. I do not want to have to ship custom non-broken yad on debian and ubuntu stable releases.

@theofficialgman, are you the Debian maintainer of YAD package? Why 7.2 is in the experimental instead of 13.0? Is it more stable than 13.0?

You can see the original request by Alexis Puente Montiel for the experimental update in Debian bug 1024523. I guess he handed in this version because it is in Pica Libre. I have sponsored it but as this issue was brought up, nobody bothered to upload it to Debian unstable.

No. Just looking out for yad as a dependency that projects I contribute on and don't want a version with these issues making it's way into stable debian or Ubuntu releases.

I pinged the maintainer and their response is as above.
