Hi, I have been noticing a few bugs with the contributed Tabbed layout
(1) Sometimes the tabs will be drawn on top of floating windows. I
think this only happens when a floating window is opened in a location
that overlaps with a tab, but I haven't found a systematic way of
testing this.
(2) The text in tabs does not properly handle Unicode. I am assuming my
applications, for example Firefox, are using UTF8 in their title
strings. In such cases the tab is simply blank. This occurs regardless
of whether TabbedLayout is configured with a font that contains the
offending glyph or not. The expected behavior when the font does not
have the glyph would be to use a blank or box like many other
applications do.
(3) This is more of an enhancement, but it would be very useful to be
able to specify XFT fonts in addition to "classical" X11 fonts for tabs.
