dmenu -w "$WINDOWID" doesn't work on this fork, breaking unicode codepoint input

[brckts]

X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 62 (X_CopyArea) Serial number of failed request: 63 Current serial number in output stream: 64
is what I get whenever I try to use dmenu -w "$WINDOWID" with this fork, any way to fix ?

I have the same issue and I'm also very interested into an answer.

I believe it is related to the transparency patch. See discussion here https://lists.suckless.org/dev/1903/33310.html

Closing this. Yes the transparency is the issue, and you'll have to patch dmenu with an alpha patch too. You can use my dmenu build which I just added the patch into. I think the one on suckless's site isn't really working without changes.
