Additional context

Thanks for reporting @dieub56 - is this a new issue that's only showing in v45.9.1?

If so, could you checkout (or bisect) the last few releases to see where the issue occurred?

Also, could you disable other extensions and retest? Particularly the rounded-window-corners extension.

Just trying to isolate / pinpoint where this is occurring.

Cheers.

The rounded corners extension caused the issue, disabling it solved the issue.
On a related note, is this something that will be addressed in future releases ? I understand if its not a priority, and my use case might not reflect most users, just want to know where you stand. I really enjoy using that extension, so honestly this a dealbreaker for me.

I thought it was likely rounded corners. I personally don't use rounded corners and wouldn't work on specific compatibility with it, but would happily accept a PR from others that use it and can run tests with their changes etc.

There's a few rounded corner extensions around and they implement what they do in various ways (which slightly differ). Unfortunately we don't have the resources to work around other extension implementations (that change gnome styling and often monkey-patch/modify native gnome/mutter objects).

Also, given that that rounded corners extension doesn't look fully supported on Gnome 45 on extensions.gnome.org (i.e. hasn't passed Gnome team review for a gnome 45 version) - it's not something I would commit time to.

Happy to leave this issue up in case other want to work on it though.

Thanks for trying PaperWM!

Jay.
