New issue 585 by ***@gmail.com: Fullscreen window grows with each
click on HTML5 videos in Google Chrome
https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=585

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Google Chrome and play HTML5 embedded video.
2. Fullscreen the video (I'm using `isFullscreen --> doFullFloat` in my
ManageHook)
3. Click anywhere with the fullscreened video, and it's window will "grow"
with each click.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I don't expect the window to grow when I click it.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Xmonad 0.11 on Ubuntu 14.04 (installed using cabal, not APT)

Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad
--recompile".

No output from "xmonad --recompile".

Please provide any additional information below.

Hypothesis: the cause is related to some interaction with window borders,
because disabling the borders completely (borderWidth=0) fixes the issue.

(There's the other "mplayer fullscreen is one pixel too large" issue that's
discussed e.g. in
http://funktionaali.com/posts/2014-07-01-How%20to%20get%20XMonad%20play%20well%20with%20fullscreen%20mpv.html
that might possibly be related.)

The problem seems to be even more general. Any click while in a fullscreen
Chrome/Chromium window grows the window.

Here's the smallest xmonad.hs that still reproduces the bug:

import XMonad
import XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops
import XMonad.Layout.NoBorders

main = do
xmonad $ defaultConfig
{ handleEventHook = fullscreenEventHook
, layoutHook = smartBorders $ layoutHook defaultConfig
}
