Workspace / window placement when reloading wm (0.8.18) from fusion-icon (with Xfce 4.14)
When I use the drop down menu option to "Reload Window Manager" from the fusion-icon in my systray, the windows are re-drawn in significantly different positions in different workspace locations. I have 12 workspaces in total (3x4). When I have some 30 windows neatly organized and then when compiz crashes, I can reload the window manager, but then my windows are all over the place.
- Here are an example of my windows before reloading the window manager: https://i.imgur.com/HEddw8g.jpg
- Here they are after reloading the wm: https://i.imgur.com/CboTxq4.jpg
To best see the disruption, feel free to open both those links above in your web browser and use Ctrl + Tab
/ Ctrl + Alt + Tab
to cycle between either image rapidly.
Could someone fix this bug so that when reloading the window manager, window / workspace placement is preserved?
- compiz-reloaded version: 0.8.18 (see the very bottom for my pacman.log details)
- Distro: Manjaro 20.0.1 Lysia
- DE: Xfce 4.14
- xfce4-panel: 4.14.4
- Kernel: 5.6.12-1-MANJARO
- Nvidia Drivers: 440.82
Is there any other information I could provide to better clarify this bug that I am reporting?
Here is the version of compiz-reloaded I am running:
