318:17 < Biolunar> when i change my resolution in dwm (to a smaller one) and then back to the native, the top bar is not repainted. that's since 5.7.2, in 5.6 it worked fine
418:19 < Biolunar> is it just happening to me or a (known) bug?
518:24 < Biolunar> and in addition, mplayers fullscreen is limited to the small resolution after i changed it back to the native

7reproducible with xrandr -s but not with --output and --mode, strange

28dmenu appears on the monitor where the pointer is and not on selmon

31
32yet another corner case:
33open a terminal, focus another monitor, but without moving the mouse
34pointer there
35if there is no client on the other monitor to get the focus, then the
36terminal will be unfocused but it will accept input

42starting emacs from dmenu in archlinux results in missing configure of emacs, but mod1-space or mod1-shift-space fix this problem. this problem is new and did not happen in 1.6 xorg servers
43
44Starting emacs from xterm doesnt show this problem, he uses tag 8 for emacs

49> Fullscreen mode with flash applications (youtube, for example) doesn't
50> work properly neither in tiled nor in floating mode.
51> Fullscreen window closes immediately after opening.
52
53This is a known bug (for some curiosity I received the same report via
54privmail from 2 other people within one week, really strange).
55The quick fix is commenting out the code in lines 817/818 in hg tip
56dwm. I cannot confirm this has no side effects (I think it does) and I
57will address this issue shortly with a real fix.

67Patching SDL, bugging them?

73When I use two monitors, one larger in resolution than the other, the
74bar is drawn using the smaller x-dimension on both screens. I think
75what's happening is that there are two bars drawn, but the short bar
76is always on top of the long bar such that I can't see the information
77under the short bar. If I switch to the small screen, hide the short
78bar, and then switch to the large screen, the long bar is drawn
79correctly.
80
81A similar problem occurs when I have started dwm on a small resolution
82monitor (laptop screen) and then I switch to a large external display.
83When I do this, the bar itself is drawn for the original smaller
84resolution, but the information to be printed on the bar is
85right-aligned for a longer bar. So what I see is a bar that has the
86right hand side of it cut-off. See attached screenshot.
87
88I am using standard options for xrandr such as --output VGA1 --auto, etc.
