FvwmPager display the content of the desktop with the mousepointer, rather than *Monitor about fvwm3 HOT 8 CLOSED

#611 mentions something related, but there it is an issue on DesktopConfiguration: shared

from fvwm3.

I'm not changing the way FvwmPager works based on mouse focus. That's too difficult and too confusing.

If you want multiple FvwmPager instances per monitor, configure each FvwmPager instance.

I think I expressed myself unclearly -- I want one instance of FvwmPager per monitor with the content of that monitor. Today this does not happen (as per setup above).

In fact, I am asking for exactly the opposite -- IMVHO FvwmPager should respect the *Monitor settings for selecting the content, NOT which monitor may or may not have the mouse pointer.

Hi @code-schnappi

Understood, and thank you for clarifying. I'll reopen this, and as discussed on IRC, if you can upload a short video, that will also help.

Hi @code-schnappi

Thanks for the video, and the instructions. I too use per-monitor mode, and using the following configuration, I cannot reproduce the problem you're describing -- for me, both FvwmPager instances are always tracking the monitor they're configured for.

DestroyModuleConfig FEP1: *
*FEP1: Geometry 361x86+1486+136@HDMI-1
*FEP1: Monitor HDMI-1

DestroyModuleConfig FEP2: *
*FEP2: Geometry 361x86+1507+1127@DP-1
*FEP2: Monitor DP-1

Hi @code-schnappi

Sorry for the delay on this -- please can you have a look at the ta/gh-841 branch? This fixes the issue you reported for me.

Hi @code-schnappi

Any chance for feedback? If not, I’ll merge this soon. It seems to work for me.
