[Sawfish] The strange unexpected resize

[Geoff Kuenning <geoff@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, all, again,

I mentioned that I'm having two weird problems with Sawfish 
1.11.90.  My second problem is that I randomly get into resize 
mode on some windows.  I'm not certain that Sawfish is the culprit 
in this case.

The symptom is that I will click and drag in the middle of a 
window (nowhere near the edges or title bar) because I'm trying to 
do something like selecting text and it will suddenly start 
resizing along with the drag.  Fortunately, I've found that I can 
hit ESC and the resizing will stop, returning the window to its 
original size.

I'm not even sure that I'm clicking and dragging, and of course I 
can't reproduce the problem at the moment.  But given my work 
habits, it's highly likely that in fact I'm clicking and releasing 
(possibly with a bit of intermediate mouse motion, of course) and 
then the resize starts following the unclicked mouse.

Anyway, the phenomenon almost always happens when I'm using the 
Firefox browser, and for a long time I thought it was a Firefox 
bug.  But a couple of days ago it happened (I think) in a 
non-Firefox window, which is what led me to start wondering if it 
were Sawfish doing the strange thing.

Unless somebody has a magic solution of "Oh, that's a feature, 
here's how to turn it off", I think what I'm really looking for is 
debugging advice.  If I could enable some kind of logging, or add 
code to instrument the resize function, that might well lead me to 
the root cause.  I'm good with Lisp and elisp, so rep isn't scary, 
but I don't know all the built-in functions.

So if somebody could give me some debugging hints, that would be 
way cool.

Thanks for listening!

The P in "PDF" is a lie.
