[i3][imagemagick] windows are not properly sized

Docbroke · 2017-02-18 03:00:44

When I use display command from openmagick, floating dialog windows are not properly sized. I did report the issue on github, and it appears that issue is specific for i3, as I could not reproduce the same with openbox.

https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/issues/379

please enlarge and look at the small window over command window titled "browse and .."

xprop command for the window in questions (when using i3) shows that window sizing hint given by the imagemagick is only 1x1.

		program specified resize increment: 1 by 1

WM_CLIENT_MACHINE(STRING) = "pathy"
WM_COMMAND(STRING) = { "display", "Pictures/wallpaper/chaku.jpg" }
WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "Browse and Select a File"
WM_NAME(STRING) = "Browse and Select a File"

However when I use openbox the window is properly sized and the sizing hint is also apropriate.
Another point is the first dialog window (command window), created by left click on the image window has proper size (as seen in the above image) but all subsequent window are tiny and needs to be manually resized.

Bugreport filed at i3

Issue closed at i3 as i3 devs think it as an imagemagick issue. However one of the i3 dev has subscribed to imagemagick issue, to see why imagemagick sets improper window size hint under i3.
