mousewheel does not navigate between workspaces
That is the one feature that I REALLY HATE, & it takes me ages to figure out how to disable it!

It should be an option, not a default.

urxvt terminal: grip a corner to shrink geometry, when pull back to larger window the window contents do not redraw.  characters beyond the small window size are erased.  on fluxbox.
ONLY on fluxbox? (I expect not; will happen regardless which window manager is running)
ile, the repaint bug is beyond control of antiX devs, and is a longstanding issue

It works fine here.   Some commands will truncate their output to match the terminal size.  You can get around this by piping them through"cat" then the resizing should work.  I'm having a hard time getting this past the stupid tapatalk ban.

Using"urxvt-stye font-size' Used to allow you to use Control-Alt-[Up/down] to change the font size but that's broken now.

urxvt-font-size
starred: 234; forks: 30

perl extension for rxvt-unicode that allows changing the font size on the fly with keyboard shortcuts.
It has the following features:
  • Supports both xft and X11 fonts; X11 fonts work in both full form and as aliases.
  • Supports all four font settings: font, boldFont, italicFont and boldItalicFont and changes them in accordance with the base font (the first one from font).
  • Can apply the font change globally for the whole server, so that new terminals will inherit the same size, and even save it to ~/.Xresources to be able to survive a reboot.
  • Should work even with complicated font setups like the example in the urxvt man-page.

Yes, skidoo.  That is the script we've been using for years for the font-size feature.  Upgrading to the latest copy of the script didn't help.  I think at least part of the problem is that urxvt changed how it interfaces with Perl extensions in the .Xresources file.

github docs mention"font-size"
perl plugin is named"font-size"
config file mentions"perl:font" (not"perl:font-size")

A few minutes ago, upon switching from fluxbox session to iceWM via --}OtherDesktops
I wound up with (the iceWM tray, I guess) tray detached and display near top-right, as shown in the screen cap.
(Not my doing -- I didn't even realize the tray could be coerced to display as a floating window)
Also, following switchover... 2 instances of clipit clipboard manager were running.
Image
Titlebar buttons were unresponsive (tried minimizing back to taskbar, tried closing)
but the trayed items were responsive ~~ volume control worked + I was able to quit the extra clipit instance).
Additionally, the web browser window, which had been in fluxbox workspace #2 ...was not visible on either iceWM, and was not represented in iceWM taskbar. I was able to access the web browser window via iceWM's"WindowList"; when I attempted to again minimize it, the window was again hidden, and again, no taskbar button displayed for it while it was minimized.

Upon switching back to fluxbox session, all seems normal.

^---- apparently the taskbar button bearing a X icon represents the floating"tray" window
