Package: ratpoison
Version: 1.4.0.dfsg-2
Severity: normal
Problem: In my .ratpoisonrc, I have a hook to show me my windows while
rotating through them:
addhook switchwin windows
My bar timeout is set to the default (5). Sometimes, after rotating
rapidly through windows using "next" or "prev", the bar gets "stuck on"
--- when the timeout triggers, it blinks off and then immediately turns
back on, repeating every timeout period. If I leave it for several
minutes, it usually goes away by itself, or I can kill it with the
"abort" command. If I kill it with the "abort" command, it always comes
back then next time I switch windows. This is pretty annoying.
To reproduce: try adding the same hook and rapidly rotating using
"next". Sorry I can't suggest a more reliable method; I haven't figured
out exactly what triggers it.
Possible fix: I've identified a line of code which seems very suspicious
to me in src/actions.c, line 2642:
if (!hide_bar (s) || defaults.bar_timeout > 0) show_bar (s, fmt);
The intent of the hide_bar is to deal with the bar_timeout == 0 case,
but it runs in either case, and I suspect there is a race condition
between the timeout alarm and the period between hide_bar and show_bar.
I've changed the line to:
if ( defaults.bar_timeout > 0 || !hide_bar(s) ) show_bar( s, fmt );
and recompiled ratpoison. Since I've done that, I haven't been able to
trigger the bug again, so I suspect it's fixed.
Cheers,
Chris
