Desk 0 not accessible.

[rasatpc]

Upfront Information

• Fvwm3 version (run: fvwm3 --version)
  Version 1.1.0

Expected Behaviour

What were you trying to do? Please explain the problem.

Ivar on Fvwm forum, upgraded to 1.1.0 and he cannot access Desk 0 in the pager with 4 desks. Left-click mouse cursor does not work on desk 0 but does on 1, 2 and 3.

• Reduce the problem to the smallest fvwm configuration example (where
  possible). Start with a blank config file (fvwm3 -f/dev/null) and go from
  there.

I did a test on 1.1.0. Desk 0 is not accessible with the mouse cursor on a pager.

Have you tried the current main branch? There was a few bugs with parsing screen numbers causing issues with virtual pages that have been fixed in the main branch, so just double check you still see this problem in the main branch.

[rasatpc]

The problem is still there. Also, I updated my fvwm3 fork.
"This branch is up to date with fvwmorg/fvwm3:main".
fvwm3-1.0.9 works fine.

Hi @rasatpc

Please try the ta/gh-957 branch, where I believe this should now be fixed.

[rasatpc]

Doesn't work. The pager (VdeskPager) does not appear.

[rasatpc]

Pager disappearing was a config problem. After fixing it, still Desk 0 is not assessable with mouse cursor. Also, tested with default-config.

[ThomasAdam]

It works fine for me. Can you suggest ways of how I can reproduce this if it's still not working for you, @rasatpc ?

[rasatpc]

I am using a laptop with no attached monitor.

1. Start Fvwm with empty .fvwm/ folder.
2. Add this test pager script to an empty file name config.

3. Logout and login.

Click Email desk and go back to Web desk. With mouse cursor can't access Web desk. Only works with command GoToDesk 0 0 0.

[rasatpc]

Didn't see yesterday's ta/gh-957 update. Desk 0 works but with right-click. Change to left-click.

[ThomasAdam]

Well, this is working just fine for me -- so I'll merge this soon. Unless there's any other problems?

[rasatpc]

I did one test with a fresh install with main and ta-gh-957 branch. And, new login to a clean desk with RightPanel.

*main branch with mouse cursor

1. Desk 0 works fine until going to other Desk (1,2,3)
2. I added one xterm in each desk to see any desk changes. There are problems.

*ta-gh-957 branch

1. Mini-window doesn't appear
2. With FvwmConsole run Module FvwmPager and mini-window appears.

I will wait for the merge.

Hi @rasatpc

OK, there were actually two things going on here -- but your original bug report didn't clarify much.

As it happens though, on the ta/gh-957 branch, you should now find that switching between desks using the RightPanel config works as expected.

Let me know how you get on, and if there's anything else related to this bug report which needs fixing.

[rasatpc]

Thanks, branch ta/gh-957 with default config and RightPanel, works fine. Also, the RightPager does fine that Mjaakko showed on forum.

Desk left-click and mini-window is ok on ta/gh-957.

[rasatpc]

Lastly, default config, I did a test on ta/gh-957 with the VdeskPager that I used as a sample. in this report. To change desk between Web, Email, and Office only right-click. The page change is ok with left-click.

First, check if the VdeskPager config is correct.
