I've included the wmaker BUGFORM below. I have tested this program with kde, enlightenment, twm and icewm and the popup windows I describe all behave as they should. Thus I feel this is a bug with wmaker. If there is anything else I can do to provide more information, please let me know. 0. Before reporting this bug I already: [X] read the NEWS, README and INSTALL files [X] read the list of already known bugs in the BUGS file [X] downloaded and tried the latest version of WindowMaker 1. What happened: [ ] could not compile [ ] crashed [ ] configuration option does not work [X] weird behaviour [ ] cosmetic [ ] some problem with WPrefs [ ] others: ................................... 2. Detailed description of what happened: I use a Java IDE known as IDEA from IntelliJ (http://www.intellij.com). This program employes popup/transient windows for suck functions as method autocompletion and parameter info. When this function is invoked in the IDE, the window appears and then dissapears immediately. If you click in a window while it is displayed, it sticks as it should though. This is hard to do though. 3. How to reproduce the bug, if known: Install the IDE and load up a java source file, while over a method hit control-p to display parameter information, the window does not stay around. Another example is to create a new source file, and then go to add an import statement, type java.util. and hit control-space to bring up the autocomplete window. This window should stay visible to allow you to scroll up and down and select. 4. Configure time options you specified: [ ] --enable-kanji [ ] --disable-shape [ ] --enable-single-icon [X] --enable-kde [X] --enable-gnome [ ] --enable-openlook [X] --enable-modelock [X] Others: --enable-sound, --enable-shm, --disable-locale 5. Changes to the src/wconfig.h file: None known. 6. The error occured during: [ ] configuration [ ] compilation [ ] startup [X] use 7. Changes made to the configuration files, if the error ocurred during use: OpenTransientOnOwnerWorkspace = YES; 8. Error messages output: 9. Fix, if known: 10. Other Notes: While I was able to capture some of the windows onscreen I ran xprop on them. The output is below in section 11.
