Re: [i3] ssh askpass window too small + "sticks around"

[Ingo Bürk]

No, it's not i3. It's the root window. Which means there is no actual
keepass window. :) I'd try running a compositor and setting the
background to see what that does. Making sure your graphics driver is up
to date also won't hurt.

Re: [i3] ssh askpass window too small + "sticks around"

[Dieter Plaetinck]

with background it looks like so (set via nitrogen)
http://i.imgur.com/RX7syWq.png
however it seems like if i set the background again after ssh-add finished, the 
background shows fine without the ghost window. not 100% sure yet on the 
conditions that trigger the issue. i can play with it a bit more and can 
probably succesfully work around it. (though it's still weird)

Re: [i3] ssh askpass window too small + "sticks around"

[Ingo Bürk]

Hi Dieter,

sorry, I completely forgot about the second issue. Can you check whether
there actually IS a window? For example, try pgrep-ing for keepass and
also try "xprop"-selecting that window on an empty workspace (where it's
not covered by other windows).

If there isn't actually a window, this sounds like a typical graphics
glitch. If you haven't set a background to your desktop yet, you should
do this, even if you want it to be just black. See [1] for some
orientation. If that's done and the issue persists, I'd try running a
compositor (e.g., compton) if you aren't already. If it STILL persists
after that, I would look into my graphics driver.

However, if there actually IS a window, tell the keepass guys to look
into it. :)

 Thanks! Yeah, the problem is that askpass specifies size flags in
 WM_SIZE_HINTS, but doesn't set useful values (it just says 0x0). i3 then
 falls back to the floating minimum size, which by default is 75x50. You
 should file this as a bug against keepass. keepass should either not set
 these flags in the size hints or give them a reasonable value.

 It should be noted that these values in the size hints are considered
 obsolete[1], but that doesn't mean they won't (or shouldn't) be
 interpreted. That's what the flag mask is for. :)

Re: [i3] ssh askpass window too small + "sticks around"

[Dieter Plaetinck]

thanks Ingo,
due to i3's easy reloading and the fact that i could just run the ssh-add 
command in a terminal without restarting X, the bisect process was very easy 
and smooth.

it found the commit. see below

Use WM_SIZE_HINTS whenever it's provided to set the geometry of floating

Re: [i3] ssh askpass window too small + "sticks around"

[Dieter Plaetinck]

I can confirm the first problem is gone (the window has the correct size) with 
4.10.4
However the ghosting problem still exists, though now it also has the correct 
size and a black background instead of grey like before.
see http://i.imgur.com/2uF25R8.png

still want me to do a bisect? for all versions i would just run make clean && 
make && restart x using the new i3 binary right? anything else needed?

Re: [i3] ssh askpass window too small + "sticks around"

[Ingo Bürk]

Hi Dieter,

can you do the following?

1) Downgrade to i3 4.10.4 and see if it fixes the problem. If so, please
run a git bisect to figure out which commit broke it. If 4.10.4 has the
same problem, try downgrading askpass or report a bug there.
2) Provide a complete i3 log file where you started it. See the
debugging docs on the i3 website for information. Also provide the
output of "xprop" and "xwininfo -all" when clicking on the opened
askpass window.

Re: [i3] ssh askpass window too small + "sticks around"

[Ingo Bürk]

Hi,

one more thing, to make life easier for yourself you can either locally
revert the commit or use a for_window directive matching that popup and
do something like

for_window [class="(?i)keepass" …] resize set 500 300

thanks Ingo,
reported @ https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2491

btw I tried setting the window to 426x94 (cause those values appeared in other 
size hints)
but that ended up being too low.  I just estimated a height and 115 seems to 
look good.
I wonder why it hinted at 94..

Re: [i3] ssh askpass window too small + "sticks around"

[Dieter Plaetinck]

btw i have configured the askpass window to have a 0px border,
so the other problem (the "ghosting") is now a little less annoying
(looks like http://i.imgur.com/qgnOTaV.png now)
though it 'd be nice if we could solve this one too. any ideas ?
