Package: ratpoison Version: 1.4.8-1 Severity: minor For the setup:
using ratpoison as your window manager, and have a couple windows open. I will assume that you have fewer than nine windows or have no window assigned to 9 in my examples but it works with any window number not assigned. Previous behavior: A `select 9` after determining that no window was assigned that number would display a list of windows identical in behavior to `windows`. New behavior: If the select was done from the colon box or hotkey the window list will just flash and be replaced with an error message. If the select was done from `ratpoison -c` the error is printed to standard error and the window list hovers. Desired behavior: I prefer the old behavior, but it could be argued that the error message is useful (definitely better for scripting). The current behavior is annoying. There are three possible compromise behaviors I would recommend: 1. error message only: I don't like this. 2. both error and list: possibly using the error as the title for the window list. 3. different behavior based on invocation: `ratpoison -c` would return the error, interactive would show the list. A bit of a wart but it has advantages. Additionally it would be nice if fselect and gselect would also show lists on invalid selection. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers oldstable-updates APT policy: (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages ratpoison depends on: ii libc6 2.19-13 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-3 ii libxft2 2.3.2-1 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.3-1+b1 ii libxtst6 2:1.2.2-1+b1 Versions of packages ratpoison recommends: ii 9menu 1.8-6 ii aterm [x-terminal-emulator] 1.0.1-8+b2 ii aterm-ml [x-terminal-emulator] 1.0.1-8+b2 ii eterm [x-terminal-emulator] 0.9.6-1 ii evilvte [x-terminal-emulator] 0.5.1-1 ii gnome-terminal [x-terminal-emulator] 3.14.1-1 ii lxterminal [x-terminal-emulator] 0.2.0-1 ii menu 2.1.47 ii mlterm [x-terminal-emulator] 3.3.8-2 ii mrxvt [x-terminal-emulator] 0.5.4-1.1+b2 ii pterm [x-terminal-emulator] 0.63-8 ii rxvt-unicode [x-terminal-emulator] 9.20-1+b1 ii stterm [x-terminal-emulator] 0.5+20140606+gitc2fd275-1 ii terminal.app [x-terminal-emulator] 0.9.8-1+nmu1+b1 ii terminator [x-terminal-emulator] 0.97-4 ii wterm [x-terminal-emulator] 6.2.9-8.1 ii xfce4-terminal [x-terminal-emulator] 0.6.3-1+b1 ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 312-1 ii xvt [x-terminal-emulator] 2.1-20.1 Versions of packages ratpoison suggests: ii xbindkeys 1.8.6-1 ii xclip 0.12+svn84-4 -- Configuration Files: /etc/X11/ratpoison/ratpoisonmenu changed [not included] /etc/menu-methods/ratpoison changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
