Wine floating windows fly away when window borders are set

Open sykhro opened this issue 7 years ago • 8 comments

If border_width is set to anything > 0, floating windows of wine applications will slide to the edge of the screen every time they get focus. Here's an example of this, running Reaper in Wine https://streamable.com/om7vj Another quite noticeable example is the steam client.

Larger border_width values will make the window slide at a greater speed. The root cause is probably that while the border doesn't get applied, the offset is added to the window anyway.

I am also affected by this issue. @sykhro did you find a workaround ?

Besides removing the borders, nope

To be more explicit, one workaround is to add the rule bspc rule -a Steam border=off to turn off borders just for steam windows

Same here, floating steam windows move towards bottom right by themselves

Another noticeable example is Dolphin's New Folder window:

The border=off rule also helps in this case.
