ItemFormat "%5.5i%|%5.5l%5.2>%|" about fvwm3 HOT 5 CLOSED

Well, this a good job for git-bisect if ever there were one.

@rasatpc -- are you able to reproduce this problem as well? I know you're filing this bug report on behalf of someone else, but you own this now.

Any additional information you can provide would help. I can't reproduce this, FWIW.

First I didn't pay attention to this topic. When Ivar wrote that he tried and later got it to flicker with @Franky's config and icon. I tried the config and downloaded the icon. It is flickering.

@ThomasAdam , before trying the config, check if the ItemFormat code is correctly written.

@rasatpc thanks for helping others try to get issues they have fixed, but first you need to first confirm that you can reproduce the bug (since we can work with you to ensure it is fixed).

In this case you should first confirm you experience the exact same issue reported, and second that this issue is not present in fvwm2. Then once you do that, being able to do a bit more like git-bisect could help us. I tried to reproduce this bug too, and I cannot reproduce it either.

confirm that you can reproduce

1. Fresh Fvwm3 install
2. Slight modification on Franky's config, file: menu-icon.sys

3. Read menu-icon.sys
   https://rasatpc.net/screenshot/fvwm3/menu-icon-test.png

Menu on right-side, highlight "This" with icon. The icon is brighter than the left side.

issue is not present in fvwm2

Somewhere, Franky mentioned Fvwm2 and also said to continue to use it instead of Fvwm3.
When I tested on 2.7.0, it showed the same bright icon. Could it be without brighness on 2.6.x??

If this is happening in fvwm2 as well, this tells me it's a regression I'm unlikely to fix any time soon.
