I use openbox, and use obsetlayout to set the desktop grid layout to 2 rows & 3 columns. When using neap, it will update fine when switching to the desktops on the first row, but when moving to the second row, it won't update when I reach desktop 6. If I do another move to the right, it does update.(So the shortcut to move to the next workspace, not actually moving)

| 1 | 2 | 3 | | 4 | 5 | 6 |

Changed the rows in neaprc to 2 , and columns in 3, so not sure if this is an issue on how obsetlayout handles the desktops, or neap. (Nice work on it updating though!)

Hey again,

hmm, I'm not able to reproduce the bug. Here's what I did:

set number of desktops to 6 using obconf

$ setlayout 0 3 2 0 $ neap --rows=2 --columns=3

Everything seems to work fine, neap updates itself properly if I change desktops with C-M- and by clicking on neap's desktop grid.

Starting from desktop 1 with this setup, what exactly do I have to do in order to reproduce the bug?

How do you switch between desktops: by openbox shortcuts or by clicking on neap's desktop grid?

What do you mean when you say "it won't update": does neap indicate the wrong desktop or does it highlight no desktop at all?

Sorry for my delayed answer, and again many thanks for your constant help. I really appreciate it.

Hrm, I might have been a bit too fast with reporting, seems like on one(random) desktop it takes a delay with updating(compared to the others).

I did update to xorg18 in the meanwhile, but I suppose that's not going to be related, sorry for the bother, though I really remember it as not updating.

Hmm, strange. I don't think it's related to the xorg upgrade, as X doesn't handle virtual desktops, it's a WM thing. If it happens again, let me know.

But you are right, sometimes there's a delay between desktop switches and neap updates. It occurs if you're using Openbox' hotkeys to do two or more desktop switches at once. The first desktop switch is reported in time, while for the second any further changes, it takes a while to update. Right now, I don't know whether this has to do with the way neap currently catches "desktop switch" events or whether this is simply a bug. Might also be related to Openbox, as the update occurs exactly when Openbox' on-screen menu for switching desktops disappears. I will investigate this.

I marked this issue "invalid", as this seems to be the most appropriate choice, though not exactly what I actually feel about it.
