windows resized by themselves in floating mode don't update their border

[Diax170]

Please fill out the following:

• Scroll Version:

  • scroll version 1.13-dev-8e42fc17 (Mar 19 2026, branch 'master')

• Description:

  • when a floating window resizes itself and there's a border enabled (in my case border pixel), it's not redrawn at the new position unless it's manually resized with keybinds or interacted with

In the following image I'm testing with swappy

This should be fixed in 4e369a0. It was a bug introduced when "fixing" #224.

Thanks!

Fixed... kinda. Now for some reason when I do border normal over ipc the title text isn't displayed. Were there breaking changes in the config?

Here's my current config file related to looks

example with chromium:
scrollmsg -t get_tree says the window title is "New Tab - Chromium" but the titlebar looks like so:

should I open a new issue?

No need, this is a sway bug introduced with the latest pango commits. There is already a fix that will probably be committed soon. Thanks.

[Diax170]
