 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

11> enternotify is handled even when the entered window is already focused
12> (eg moving the mouse to the bar and back, scrolling on the border..)
13>
14> focusing might be expensive for some clients (eg dim/light up)
15>
16> a possible solution is to modify enternotify:

19>        if((m = wintomon(ev->window)) && m != selmon) {
20>                unfocus(selmon->sel);
21>                selmon = m;
22>        }
23> +       else if (c == selmon->sel || c == NULL)
24> +               return;

28> another corner case:
29
30a tiled client can be resized with mod+right click, but it only works
31on the main monitor
32

34
35dmenu appears on the monitor where the pointer is and not on selmon
36
37---
38
39yet another corner case:
40open a terminal, focus another monitor, but without moving the mouse
41pointer there
42if there is no client on the other monitor to get the focus, then the
43terminal will be unfocused but it will accept input

48
49starting 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
50
51Starting emacs from xterm doesnt show this problem, he uses tag 8 for emacs

56>  Fullscreen mode with flash applications (youtube, for example) doesn't 
57> work properly neither in tiled nor in floating mode. 
58>  Fullscreen window closes immediately after opening.

60This is a known bug (for some curiosity I received the same report via 
61privmail from 2 other people within one week, really strange). 
62The quick fix is commenting out the code in lines 817/818 in hg tip 
63dwm. I cannot confirm this has no side effects (I think it does) and I 
64will address this issue shortly with a real fix.

68SDL seems to not like non-reparenting WMs:
69
70> I would like to mention SDL problems, however SDL is not crucial to
71> me anymore; people that really care about it should speak up and
72> propose dwm / SDL patch or cooperation scheme in that matter.

74Patching SDL, bugging them?

80When I use two monitors, one larger in resolution than the other, the
81bar is drawn using the smaller x-dimension on both screens. I think
82what's happening is that there are two bars drawn, but the short bar
83is always on top of the long bar such that I can't see the information
84under the short bar. If I switch to the small screen, hide the short
85bar, and then switch to the large screen, the long bar is drawn
86correctly.
87
88A similar problem occurs when I have started dwm on a small resolution
89monitor (laptop screen) and then I switch to a large external display.
90When I do this, the bar itself is drawn for the original smaller
91resolution, but the information to be printed on the bar is
92right-aligned for a longer bar. So what I see is a bar that has the
93right hand side of it cut-off. See attached screenshot.
94
95I am using standard options for xrandr such as --output VGA1 --auto, etc.
