Awsome WM: Unable to resize windows with Mod4+[H,L]

Sometimes Mod4 + h and Mod4 + l works, but most of the time it doesn't. It appears to work at random. Say I have two terminals open and the press Mod4 + space until the two windows are perfectly aligned splitted vertically. I then want to make the leftmost window narrower using Mod4 + h. That doesn't work. If I change layout to the one where the windows are detached, then Mod4 + h resizes both height and width in proportions.

Mod4 + Button3 always work however. Restarting Awesome does not help.

Any clues? Thanks!

Re: Awsome WM: Unable to resize windows with Mod4+[H,L]

I've suffered some issue like that but it was always related to GMPC and in which position it was. Seems that some apps don't resize well with awesome, so I think you should try to trace wich app breaks the resize
