Style PositionPlacement ignores y percentage

[afhp-2020]

Given the configuration line defined previously

Style volume-popup.script    PositionPlacement 0 75

the script window is expected to appear at the left of the screen (taking struts into account), 3/4 of the way down as it did previously. Instead, it appears at the top of the screen.

Changing the line (through FvwmConsole) to

Style volume-popup.script    PositionPlacement 0 1000p

makes it appear where expected.

Modifying the x component (as a percentage, without suffix) behaves as expected.

Hi @afhp-2020

Oh, good. Looks like I've trampled over some previous value when shoe-horning in RandR.

Don't suppose you're up for submitting a patch to fix this, are you? :)

Have a look at fvwm/move_resize.c:GetMoveArguments() as a starter for ten...

I'll give it a look, but no promises :) I'm not that much of a C developer. While I'm at it I should also give #40 a shot...

Heh, thanks! You don't need to be a C developer, just someone who has more of a brain than I do... ;)

As for #40 -- go for it! I think I recall starting a pull-request to move things along with that, but since I'm generally ambivalent with how iconic windows appear on different monitors for me, I've not really focused on revisiting my fix for that. Selfish programming, eh? :)

Version 1.0.0-21-ge2c929d5 does not exhibit this bug, 1.0.1 release does.

Hi @afhp-2020

Are you saying this is fixed?

[afhp-2020]

Hi Thomas,

It is not fixed: things worked in a previous, 1.0.0 - level version, and are broken as of 1.0.1.

More specifically, bisecting for #264, it broke on

90f7b45841e534819ebe69232528613069217203 is the first bad commit

(both issues appear simultaneously)
