Description Martin Sehnoutka 2018-10-04 12:14:35 UTC
Created attachment 1490488 [details]
screen with the bug

Description of problem:
When I press $mod+d to run the launcher, it is displayed as a small strip on the top of my screen.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
latest Fedora 29 compose
sway-0.15.2-1

How reproducible:
I'm not sure.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a VM in the virtual machine manager
2. Install minimal Fedora installation
3. Install sway and mesa packages
(3.5) depending on your host, you might need to change $mod to a different key
4. run sway

Actual results:

Expected results:
bigger launcher, so I can see the letters

Comment 1 Till Hofmann 2018-11-10 18:07:39 UTC
I can confirm, I see the same issue on F29, but it doesn't occur on F28.

As sway is the same version in F28 and F29, it must be related to one of its dependencies. I'll investigate.

Comment 2 marcin.morawski 2018-12-18 18:38:48 UTC
I can also confirm this on an installation of F29 in a QUEMU virtual machine.

Comment 3 Till Hofmann 2019-05-27 08:20:33 UTC
Can you upgrade to sway 1.0 from the sway module and test again? Imho switching to the module version is useful anyway.

You can enable the module with:
$ sudo dnf module install sway

Comment 4 Martin Sehnoutka 2019-05-28 08:35:17 UTC
Unfortunately I don't have the host OS I had before but I tried the same with VirtualBox 6.0.8, latest Fedora 30 and latest sway module as of today and the bug is still there.

Comment 5 Ben Cotton 2019-10-31 19:13:19 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 29 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 29 on 2019-11-26.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '29'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 29 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 6 Ben Cotton 2019-11-27 22:40:22 UTC
Fedora 29 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-11-26. Fedora 29 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
