Latest update broke rofi and rofimenu

Support
21

Hello, I have the same problem today and only as a workaround I have been able to solve it by modifying the theme in ~ / .config / rofi / config.rasi from theme = “qball” to theme = “solarized” for rofi and adding in the ~ / .limepanelrc from “rofimenu” to “rofimenu -show drun” for the menu on the panel.

Im using bspwm with Manjaro Architect.

Any better solution is welcome.

I suspect something is wrong with new rofi theming in version 1.6.0. In fact rofimenu shows all menu if you press Shift + Right Arrow.

@kainonergon Somehow changing font size doesn’t affect the issue for me.
@nealb Though I kinda fixed the problem with changing these lines on rofimenu.rasi
line 73, 74

lines:			6;
fixed-height:	true;

Also, there is no dotfiles menu on the current config.

@kainonergon Thank you for the tip, didn’t know about this.

Shift + arrows are default rofi keys to switch between modi.

@Mitsukuni ,Thanks , that worked for me. I see the dotfiles line also.

On this screenshot it is seen that all tabs (modi) are placed on the same line. So I’m quite sure it’s a bug in rofi, not in rofimenu.

Yes, that can be removed (and will be, good call) by taking the vertb out of the window’s children list in config.rasi :
children: [vertb, mainbox]; >> children: [mainbox];

I’m taking a look at the rofimenu script and watching bug reports on the git.

It seems to be only drawing the last modi in the switcher, so maybe a syntactical change in the script will be required. I honestly am more leaning towards bug as @kainonergon mentioned. The lack of mouse controls pushes me that way more-so.

I’ll update the desktop pkg to have the dotfiles menu asap. That’s something I missed on the last iso release. (I will also remove that awful looking sidebar from the rofi launcher as well)

Actually there was dotfiles menu in my installation in the first place, it dissappeared with the last update, or at least I think so. Not exactly sure if that happened with the update or happened while copying over the files from skel.

And yes, that rofi sidebar is really awful. :slight_smile:
