Hello,
(c)twm opens a small window showing title and geometry when placing a window, moving or resizing it. I noticed that the first case displays the text truncated at the bottom when using a larger ResizeFont like: ResizeFont "-misc-fixed-medium-r-*-*-*-200-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1" The Resize window is sized correctly for the move and resize case. The window height calculation in add_window.c differs from those done in functions_win_moveresize.c and win_resize.c. Aligning the code in add_window.c like: Index: add_window.c =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/xsrc/external/mit/ctwm/dist/add_window.c,v retrieving revision 1.3 retrieving revision 1.4 diff -p -u -r1.3 -r1.4 --- add_window.c 11 Apr 2021 10:11:57 -0000 1.3 +++ add_window.c 12 Apr 2021 06:42:31 -0000 1.4 @@ -1000,7 +1000,7 @@ AddWindow(Window w, AWType wtype, IconMg tmp_win->name, namelen, &ink_rect, &logical_rect); width = SIZE_HINDENT + ink_rect.width; - height = logical_rect.height + SIZE_VINDENT * 2; + height = Scr->SizeFont.height + SIZE_VINDENT * 2; XmbTextExtents(Scr->SizeFont.font_set, ": ", 2, NULL, &logical_rect); fixes the problem. logical_rect.height is only the height of the ":" string, which isn't tall enough to display arbitrary characters. I don't know if or how you accept patches, but if you think this is correct, feel free to use it.
