But when I changed my main machine to run Manjaro i3 Community edition things got a bit more complicated. Maybe not as well as something like Gnome 3 which is created partially for touch devices but well enough. This distribution worked fine, it was running XFCE which meant that it had a graphical approach that translated well to a touch-screen scenario. Keeping all my machines running the same Linux flavour makes setting them up and maintaining them easier, not to mention that I don't have to remember which programs are used on the different machines for the same task (file managers and such are typically integrated with the desktop environment and will vary between Linux distributions). At first I started out with what I was currently using as the operating system on my main machine. It's a great device, and with a little tweaking I got it running Linux just fine. I suspect this problem is not specific to Obsidian.Adding touch controls to the i3 Window Manager 30th September 2016 - LinuxĪ while back I got myself a second hand Surface Pro 1. I tried to take a video, but the task bar wasn’t included – all that’s happening is that I’m either single clicking on the task bar when it doesn’t expand, or right clicking when it opens the dialogue.Īt the end of this video, although I’m typing, it’s not updating anything.ĮDITED: As of this morning, VS Code is doing the same thing. When I minimize the Obsidian window, I can’t get it back at all unless I right click on the task bar and manually click ‘Maximize’, although when I simply click on the task bar there is a strange animation as if something is being expanded, but it doesn’t actually draw the Obsidian window. The main thing that is persistent and different from what it described by jorsk is that when I restore the application from the taskbar by single-clicking on it, I’m not able to resize it, because there’s nothing drawn and no window chrome to resize. Restarting the application temporarily clears up this state, but eventually, after minimizing and maximizing from the task bar some number of times, it becomes unresponsive again. Sometimes I type and I don’t see my text appear without a few seconds’ delay other times, the text doesn’t appear until I move the window with my cursor or resize it.

In my case, it’s not that the window partially redraws or looks disjointed, but rather, the entire window does not update. I didn’t know whether it would be better to start a new thread. I am having issues similar to what’s described above, but not exactly the same. I don’t tinker a lot with my system and I don’t know a lot about windows managers, so please let me know if there’s anything else I can do to provide relevant information. I am having similar issues (and maybe a few extra) in Kubuntu with, I assume, KWin:
