Package: fluxbox
Version: 1.3.7-1~exp1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

There is a bug in upstream fluxbox which has been patched which causes
new 32-bit windows to appear without borders, and unable to be
interacted with in anyway. This includes Firefox, Thunderbird and a
variety of other applications.

Large windows that cannot be moved, closed, or otherwise interacted with
renders fluxbox nearly useless.

There is an upstream patch:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?dist=unstable;package=fluxbox

There is more discussion here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/fluxbox/bugs/1102/

and in this mozilla bug I had originally filed thinking it was a problem
over there:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1714353

Fluxbox has not released a new version, unfortunately, but if we could
apply this patch, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
- Phil
