Build 3200 linux doesn't work in Xmonad (window is not redrawn)

#1

The editor window is rendered once and is never updated after that. Build 3176 works like a charm.

Sounds like it may be an issue with xmonad and GTK3? The biggest change for Linux users between 3.1 and 3.2 is we switched from GTK2 to GTK3.

Yeah, this may be a GTK3 issue - I installed another gtk3 app (darktable) and behavior is the same :disappointed: Can’t believe I am the only person with this problem - can’t find any “xmonad+gtk3” issues mentioned anywhere.

I looked also and didn’t see anything obvious on the first page or two of google.

Ok, I found a solution. In case you use xmonad and have issues with GTK3, check out if you have setWMName "LG3D" in your xmonad.hs config. setWMName trick fixes Java apps but breaks GTK+3 apps like Sublime Text. Removing that hack fixed the Sublime Text 3 for me.
