----------
Known bugs
----------
- E may lose control over a window if it is iconified and de-iconified
shortly after.
- Switching desktop changes stacking (sticky windows raised above non-sticky).
- The pager mini-window tooltips are sometimes not unmapped when they should be.
- When right clicking a zoomed pager mini-window to get the menu, the
mini-window and tooltip are not unmapped.
- Various minor focus issues.
Exact steps to reproduce are welcome.
- Window placement when low on space could be improved.
In particular, we should try harder not to cover the dont-cover windows.
- When zooming (fullscreen) decreases screen resolution, the mouse should be
confined to the zoomed window.
! May be impossible to fix due to limitations in X (vidmode extension, mouse
grabs).
Fixed in E 16.6
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- When using click-to-focus and closing focused window, focus isn't
returned to the previously focused window (introduced in pre8).
- Regenerating menus will replace custom file.menu and user_apps.menu
(introduced with new e_gen_menu in pre7).
- Applications (vmware, gaim, mozilla, ...) cannot de-iconify their
windows (introduced in pre5).
Fixed in E 16.6-pre8
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Enabling the "ripples" (and other) effects cause a dialog to be shown at
startup. This becomes somewhat annoying in the long run.
Fixed in E 16.6-pre7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Making slightly offscreen windows (x/y < 0) sticky causes them to be
moved (x/y += screen.w/h). This may (aot.) cause pagers and iconboxes
to go (almost) offscreen when changing the theme.
- Menu generation script (e_gen_menu etc.) is not up to current standards.
Fixed in E 16.6-pre6
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- _NET_WORKAREA hint is not supported (breaking kuickshow, among others).
- If the focus list (Alt-Tab) gets covered, it is not redrawn when exposed.
The real problem is that the window list is not supposed to get covered.
- The focus list is sometimes not closed when it should be.
Press Alt, press Ctrl, release Ctrl, press Tab, release Tab, release Alt.
- Window ("remember") settings may not be saved on exit.
Fixed in E 16.6-pre5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The maintenance menu is missing.
- Rapid iconify/de-iconify may cause E to "lose" the window.
- Maximise bug with Xinerama.
- Non-fsstd configuration/install is broken.
- De-iconify of windows not entirely on-screen is broken.
Fixed in E 16.6-pre4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The scripts have dropped out of the distribution files.
- Focus problem when switching desktops.
- Pager mini-window is not removed after click without drag.
