Please read what I wrote (smile) ! "However, if the pager is not running, the toolbar remains hidden always" : that is not the expected behaviour, ie what I get with 1.3.6-r1 , when moving the mouse over the toolbar area makes it appear. > Something I noticed is that the toolbar will not show if hidden, > until I move the cursor 1-2 inches or more from its right edge. > I have a clock on the right hand side and need to come left well beyond it > and into the application tabs area for the toolbar to show up. That shouldn't be happening : it doesn't happen for me with 1.3.6-r1 . > In any other position the cursor brings the toolbar up as expected. > Now, if your Fbpager is where my clock happens to be > -- the right hand edge of the toolbar -- > then we have come across the same bug. It's to the left (please read what I wrote above) & you are experiencing part of what's gone wrong with 1.3.7 , but not all of it : > However, there is no flickering here : > the toolbar either shows up or does not. So the flickering > could be related to the canvas of the Fbpager being refreshed. It's caused somehow by the presence of the pager. >> I emerged 1.3.7 , which showed the same bug. >> However, having restored 1.3.6-r1 , which I used before yesterday, >> the bug has disappeared & the pager + the toolbar work as they should. >> The configuration has remained the same thro'out these tests. >> Before I file a bug, has anyone else seen this ?

I've been a contented user of Fluxbox for some years, so I hope I don't have to drop it. It looks like a bug report is needed. The Fluxbox WWW site warns that 1.3.7 was released after 2 yr break & may need lots of testing. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
