Strange. I use it too.

Yes, Winedt is not behaving perfectly - frankly I use it only as a test for
Wine, so I don't care much. But I would like it does not crash my server :-)

I had not even seen that, of course...But I don't even see it (unless I don't
understand what you mean), even after I have found a hack to avoid the
crash (see below)

I investigated further, without great success.
It's difficult to trace since the end of the trace disappear, I ended up adding
a sync() call at this point. What happens is that the main window (the one being
disabled) get an UnmapNotify event almost immediately after the new size is set.
That's incorrect as it's not what the program asked.
If I comment only the line setting the min and max height, the main window is not
unmapped and the app works correctly.
The only hack I found to eliminate the crash it to don't have min=max, for example :
size_hints->min_width = wnd->rectWindow.right - wnd->rectWindow.left;
size_hints->max_width = size_hints->min_width + 1;
size_hints->min_height = wnd->rectWindow.bottom - wnd->rectWindow.top;
size_hints->max_height = size_hints->min_height + 1;
No crash then...
If someone has an idea to explain what is happening to me, it would be great :-)
