Window transparent when opening

[Max Mustermann]

Hi,

I'm using xpad on the i3 window manager *scratchpad*.
This means that it is a floating window which I can toggle on and off ("min/maximize") via key-combination.

Some time ago, a bug was introduced to xpad which made that it did not refresh the opened xpad so that one can still see the window behind. This goes to normal as soon as I move the window.

I guess you reduced some refreshing in one of the last updates which produced this error.

Best, Max

My system Specifications:
- Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
- gnome-i3
- xpad version 5.0.0-1 500

See also bug #1857441, I reported it accidentally at the Ubuntu forum but it is probably not related to Ubuntu.

Hi Max,

I am not sure if I understand the issue correctly.

Are you saying that if you maximize a pad the window is transparent, until
you move it?
By transparent you mean, that the outline of the pad is visible, but the
text and background are not?

It does sound like a window refresh action, however I am not sure if this
is an issue in Xpad, Gtk (the framework), the window manager (i3?), a mix,
or something else. :)
I have tried to minimize (iconify), maximize and unmaximize with the window
manager I am using (Openbox + LXQt).
With this environment I cannot reproduce this behavior.

Could you find out what the exact window manager command is, that is being
trigger by your actions ("on"/"off")?
It might be something else than minimize.
