Hi,

after upgrading from Firefox 128 to 140 (esr version) we realized a
strange 2px space between the Firefox content and the ctwm border.

We have checked "Title bar" in the "Customize Toolbar" windows, so that
ctwm decorates the Firefox window with the usual ctwm title and borders.

Now, when *not* having UseThreeDBorders there will a distorted space along
the right and bottom border of the same width as the border itself. This
space will be filled with the content of anything you move over the firefox
window, see the attached ctwm.png. I've set a borderwidth of 10 here and
moved the xemacs window over the firefox window.

With UseThreeDBorders this problem doesn't exist. I wasn't able to
produce the same bug with any other WM (mwm, fvwm2, icewm), so I'm
not sure reporting this to mozilla might have any effect. I might
still try, as this started only with Firefox 140 and worked
fine with all versions <=128.

But I wonder if it is a bug in Firefox or in ctwm. I guess there is
some protocol that FF uses to tell the window manager "decorate me,
I'm not doing it", but what can go wrong here? And then only with
normal borders and not with 3d ones?

I think I ccan workaround this by
  UseThreeDBorders
  ThreeDBorderWidth 2
  BorderShadowDepth 0
which seems to result in the same border as "BorderWidth 2" but it
still troubles me when such a problem occurs...

Anyone has an idea why ctwm shows this problem suddenly?

cu,
Frank
