Hi,
it seems, that strings used in any kind of lists are matched as
substrings. I.e., having this
Occupy {
"bc" {"lokal"}
}
will make any xterm created with ' -T "abc"' or ' -T "bcd"' appear
only in the "lokal" workspace, too, and not only those with ' -T "bc"'.
In the man page, pattern matching was never described, I found only this:
"When a variable containing a list of strings representing windows is searched
(e.g. to determine whether or not to enable autoraise as shown above), a
string must be an exact, case-sensitive match to the window’s name"
So the current behaviour definitely is wrong. In 3.8.2 on had to use
"*bc" to match the xterm with title "abc", and "bc*" to match "bcd",
which was enough pattern matching for almost any case. 4.0.1 forced
me to change all "*blabla" into ".*blabla" which would be a better,
grep-like syntax, but I can't test the new machting abilities due to
that bug.
The current behaviour causes problems as we've some windows whose
titles are substrings of others.
cu,
Frank
