Hi Andrei, thanks for the friendly note. Maybe you'll find this interesting: http://www.jimpryor.net/research/papers/Hyper-Evaluativity.txt It's a new paper I started that has a foot in both CS and philosophy. Essentially, it's about passing by reference. Re the awesome fullscreen issue: A screen shot isn't necessary: I think it looks *exactly* like the focused window has gone floating, keeping its previous size. Except: (1) the little airplane? icon that currently shows up for floating windows in the tasklist button doesn't show up, and (2) my windows normally, and when floating, have colored borders, but when I get this strange fullscreen behavior, the focused/floating window has no borders. You're right I haven't yet isolated the commit that introduces this behavior; I was hoping for some hints that might help me narrow it down. But I will do a git-bisect, and I'll also try to find a minimal divergence from the default rc.lua that suffices to introduce the problem. -- Jim Pryor [email protected] -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
