I have experienced the following bug on both arch linux and void linux. dmenu and dwm are both installed with config.h equal to config.def.h.
I run the following shell command: seq 2 | dmenu && seq 3 | dmenu The first dmenu instance opens as expected. I hit the enter key and a 1 is printed. However, the second dmenu instance does not appear. It remains invisible, but still accepts my keyboard input, behaving as if it were visible. I hit enter again, what I typed is printed and the shell command terminates with exit code 0. By trial and error, I found that adding a 'sleep(1);' line into dmenu.c before the existing XCreateIC call in the setup function will cause the second dmenu instance to become visible after the 1 seconds pause. However, if the 'sleep(1);' line is added after the XCreateIC call, then the second dmenu instance will remain invisible even after the 1 second. This suggests the problem is related to the creation of the input context, but I don't know enough about XLib to fix this problem on my own. PS. I noticed there is no call to XDestroyIC, is this intentional? -- Christopher
