Good Morning,

please consider checking out these (mostly) minor things I have encountered in 
E that I believe should be brought to your attention and potentially fixed.

Compositor related:
- MAJOR: Resizing of windows with shaped borders is broken. It updates approx 
1/sec on my slow laptop. The result is that the border does not get drawn all 
the way around the swallowed window, and the window contents don't refresh, 
i.e. it appears to have become stuck. This applies to simple things that 
automatically change size, i.e. when clicking the "advanced" button in the 
pager options.

- Informative: opengl compositing works on my computer at work with nouveau 
driver. As with the rest of the driver, it's an order of magnitude faster than 
nvidia driver.


Generic E related:
- Annoying: When restarting E, any window that was maximised with the "fill" 
option is remembered as normal maximised.
i.e. if I use the "fill" option to tile windows to my liking, after restarting 
E, all those windows will take up the entire screen.

- Obvious: Ability to set a threshold of screen size % above which the window 
is considered "maximised", so when clicking the maximise button, instead of 
growing say 5 pixels, it will revert to a predefined "unmaximised" size. Or at 
least after growing 5 pixels, and re-clicking, instead of shrinking those 5 
pixels back, it will revert to said predefined size.

- Request: Ability to move fullscreen window to another desktop by alt + click 
(drag) + f desktop number.
- Request: Ability to lock items in IBar to avoid accidental drag / removal on 
slow computers.
- Request: Don't autohide shelf when moving items in IBar (changing order).
- Glitch: When jumping to a different screen on a multi-screen setup, the 
window under the mouse does not receive focus.


Systray related:
- Minor: When moving my mouse over an icon in the systray which is in a shelf 
with autohide, the shelf starts autohiding, and reappearing. You may need to 
set the autohide speed to fast to see this.


EFM related:
- Bug: When drag-and-dropping item into application, mouse events seem to stop 
functioning.
i.e. drop playlist into player, then can no longer drag window from title bar, 
or close window by clicking on X etc.

- Glitch: pathbar_button: When a directory name is long, and you select a 
previous directory, the unselected text spans across multiple buttons which 
looks messy.

- Bug: Moving items does cp+rm instead of mv. (i.e. when moving a 1G file to a 
subdir)
- Annoying: Preview popup gets in the way and does not follow keyboard actions. 
i.e. when I navigate tiles photos in a directory using the arrow keys etc, the 
preview will continue to show the item that my mouse is over, hiding what I'm 
interested in. (note, with mouse focus, mouse will usually be over someting by 
accident)


run_everything related:
- Missing: My own custom commands that are in the path, no longer appear in the 
run everything popup.


comp_scale related:
- Minor: There does not appear to be a setting for the speed of the "focused 
window" animation (i.e. when selecting next(all)). This makes it look wierd 
when initialising, since all windows will get into place, except the currently 
focused one that takes a while to sort of slide in from somewhere.


tiling related:
- Request: Enable old-style tiling (extra). 1 major window i.e. assign 70% 
screen size. All other windows tiled at side. 1key combo to make focused window 
the major. 1key combo to float/un-tile a window. I found this very useful, 
since I can remember 2 key combos, it made sense, it was fast and helped with 
productivity. The current tiling method does not appear to fit my own use case 
and seems much more complicated.


Thanks in advance,
