My most taxing problem is this now:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/Sz5i3LVFYhh79d9T8
All windows are set to stacking normal but some windows have a stacking
so that they steal the mouse focus even tough they're underneath.
I don't understand how that's possible.
Should my mouse cursor ever be able to give focus to a window that's
underneath the current one?
Background:
E 0.21.5 would go into a CPU loop that didn't hang it, but sure sucked a
lot of power.
So, I foolishly went to 0.22.x, which fixed that problem, but brought a
load of completely new ones, which Raster says are likely my X server's
fault (intel, latest version from debian. I was running an older
version, but upgrading to the latest experimental fixed nothing).
Basically I had a myriad of problems every time I resumed from sleep,
not just the mouse cursor going away, but things being hung or not
working and basically I had to restart E every time I resumed from
sleep, although that was only one of the problems. I should have written
the other ones down, but honestly they always happened when I was in the
middle of other important things and I just needed my WM to work :-/
Raster, sorry, I know you asked me for some debug, but
1) never had time to even get anything building until today
2) 0.22 has too many different bugs for me to want to keep trying to use
it.
So, I went back to 0.21.5 which was painful since my profile was
incompatible and I had to painstakenly recreate all my window placements
and save everything.
Sure enough, CPU hangs again.
Looked around, no later 0.21.x version in debian, so I pulled the
0.21.11 source and after 1.5h of hammering stuff, got it to build in
debian (missing a lot of build packages, some nicely depended on
systemd which I don't want on that system).
I'm now running 0.21.11 built from source using debian build files, and
sure enough, yet another set of problems.
First, when I open too many E dialog boxes, everything hangs hard, so
that I have to go to a text console and killall -9 enlightenment, and
then things recover. Sigh, not great...
Can you help me get E 0.21 working well enough that I can go back to
work and not have to worry about so many WM issues?
Thanks,
Marc
