Mousepad titlebar layout

mr_glitch · 2021-08-02 12:17:26

I encountered this sometime ago, and I'm not sure if I broke something while playing with xfconf-query (I wrote a simple script to change title bar layout) or it's a bug. Checked issues on GitLab but didn't see something related (it's possible I'm blind).

Title bars in other programs doesn't have this issue.

Mousepad 0.5.6-1
Xfce 4.16 on Manjaro Linux, unstable branch

I can reproduce this result by playing with the window manager settings, and I have a similar result for other applications, such as Thunar. When I restore the original configuration, all windows follow, including those of Mousepad.

But maybe there is a synchronization problem in your case. What happens if you disable CSD (Preferences -> Window)?

When CSD is disabled, the title bar looks normal. I changed layout with CSD enabled and disabled via window manager, but that doesn't help. Content is changing immediately after I change layout, so there is no issue with synchronization on my side, if I understand you correctly

Edit:
I checked this on Manjaro fresh install and CSD in Mousepad have the same issue.

But then what is the problem?
When you say "Title bars in other programs doesn't have this issue", what do you mean exactly?
Could you provide a screenshot for e.g. Thunar (if it does not have this issue)?

I've posted image in first post, maybe your browser/extension block imgur, or I messed something

What I mean is, there is an icon in CSD on the left side and when you set the close button (or other) to the left this icon is always first.

I can see the image for Mousepad, the one I asked for Thunar was for comparison, but with your explanation now it's good

So you want to see the icon on the right of the left buttons? I don't have much of an opinion aesthetically (I never put a button on the left actually), but it's true that it would be consistent with other Xfce windows (especially CSD).

Could you open a new issue on Gitlab for this, citing this thread? Thanks!

Yes

I've lost faith in my english, so I made one more screenshot with comparison between Mousepad and Window Manager

No problem, I'll create an issue, but need a bit of help. How to name it?

Edit:

I figure out something, thanks for your patience
