Description George R. Goffe 2021-05-31 20:23:43 UTC
Description of problem:WindowMaker intermittently fails to save sessions.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
latest in repo

How reproducible:
intermittantly

Steps to Reproduce:
1.save session
2.
3.

Actual results:
All of a sudden, WM started failing to save sessions. WMRootMenu developed a syntax error. remove package and install failed to resolve the problem.

I went to the WM site and downloaded and built the repository version and removed WM from the system. After installing the newly built WM and a restart of WM, the save session function started working. Additionally, the startup and re-load of the saved sessions started working again.

I have NO idea what caused the problem but this system is now running with the repo level WM without problems.

Expected results:

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 35 development cycle.
Changing version to 35.

Comment 2 Ben Cotton 2022-11-29 16:58:13 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 35 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 35 on 2022-12-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained.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
'version' of '35'.

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

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 35 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 Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Fedora Linux 35 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2022-12-13.

Fedora Linux 35 is no longer maintained, which means that it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.
