I have started using swm-gaps as a quality of life plugin. It really helps reduce the eye strain when working on 82" 4k / 8k displays with tons of window frames for specific workflows.

PROBLEM: When a group has 6+ frames and you are resizing the frames, two things happen: Some frames will sometimes start to slip UNDER other frames (probably parent frames / frames higher in the hierarchy?) and if I resize the group enough Stumpwm will crash.

TROUBLESHOOTING: I googled and searched here related issues such as crash, swm-gaps, resize and so forth but everyone seems to have a slightly different permutation of the problem so I am not exactly sure where to start. When swm-gaps is not loaded the crashing stops and resizing any arbitrary number of window frames is no problem.

ENVIORNMENT: I compiled the latest Stumpwm as of today to test. I am also not using mode lines and I am using standard groups not the new dynamic groups that seem to do weird tiling with floating windows either.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to start troubleshooting this? Any suggestions on how to test and get proper crash logs out of Stumpwm (my stumpwm.log is always empty).

I am finding thswm-gaps provides a quality of life benefit that I was not expecting and it might be worthwhile getting to the bottom of why this is happening.

Thanks.
