X11 question.

I'm trying to read two properties with XGetWindowProperty.

Opening a connection
Reading
Closing the connection

works, however if I read two
things in one session, it fails.

Usually there's a lot of casting involved.

Can you upload code snippet on a pastebin?

@IntrusionCM Casting? I don't have a problem with querying the properties itself that works fine, no matter the combination, just that if I read more than one time in a session, the second+ time it returns invalid values and the like.

@ElectroArchiver That sounds like a problem with not properly accounting the number of bytes returned?

Can you share you code, that would make it easier, as brain is matsche?

@IntrusionCM Sure, though I did change the code to work around the problem ( opening a connection for every request ), you can of course go back in the commit history~

@IntrusionCM Actually the code on GitHub doesn't have the workaround yet

If I glanced over it correctly, this is the main point where you call XWindowGetProperty in source/native/mod.cpp

You might want to take a look at this...

- you need to fetch the data properly
- you need to XFree the data after fetching it

@IntrusionCM Mhm so freeing did help, though not quite. I can now query properties multiple times in a session, though querying the same property still doesn't work. Also doing the same things twice ( 2+ sessions) after one another also doesn't work..
