Upgrade to Quil 2.3.0 seems to break my sketch's display settings

[John Lynch]

Hi.

I have been developing a sketch which uses Quil fun-mode, dynamic workflow for REPL (Leiningen).  My OS is Xubuntu 17.

My sketch is supposed to display fullscreen on my second monitor (display 1), leaving the REPL in a terminal window on the primary monitor (display 0) for logging state changes and echoing user input.

It was always based on the dynamic workflow/fun-mode example at   https://github.com/quil/quil/wiki/Dynamic-Workflow-(for-REPL) - which specifies 

:dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.6.0"]
                 [quil "2.2.1"]])

So, it has been working fine for months with these dependencies.   I recently upgraded thClojure dependency to "1.8.0" and my sketch continued to work properly, although the compiler gives me a warning:

WARNING: update already refers to: #'clojure.core/update in namespace: flame1.dynamic, being replaced by: #'flame1.dynamic/update

Recently, realising that Nikita has been working hard as usual and has produced several more recent versions of Quil, I tried changing the Quil version to "2.6.0" and the sketch broke.   I have investigated this and find that itbreaks when changing from 2.2.6 to 2.3.0.

Two things happen: 

    1. The sketch is displayed on my primary monitor, on top of the REPL window.

    2. The window title now reads "Applet" instead of the title I specify  in (q/defsketch).

My core.clj:

(ns test43.core

  (:require [quil.core :as q])

  (:require [fractagons.dynamic :as dyn])

  (:require [quil.middleware :as m])

)

    

(q/defsketch test43

  :title "Test 43"               

  :setup dyn/setup

  :update dyn/update           

  :draw dyn/draw

  :mouse-clicked dyn/mouse-clicked             

  :key-typed dyn/key-typed             

  :display 1

  :size :fullscreen

  :features [:present]

  :middleware [m/fun-mode])  

If I edit the above to read 

:display 0

the sketch then displays correctly on my second monitor, but the REPL terminal window becomes minimized, and if I bring it tothe foreground, the sketch disappears from the other monitor.   It is thus impossible to view both REPL and sketch simultaneously, even though they are on different monitors.

I suspect this is something to do with the upgrade to Processing 3.0 (documented at https://github.com/processing/processing/wiki/Changes-in-3.0, specifically the exhortation 

"Do not use variables in size() - This time we really mean it."

and the new fullscreen() function, but I am at this point stumped!

Any ideas?

Regards, John

Hi John

Unfortunately I don't have good suggestions :( Looking at Quil implementation we do use fullscreen() function if you specify size :fullscreen (link). All this fullscreen multiple display stuff is tricky and I don't know how to debug it. My suggestions would either to stick with 2.2.6 (you should be able to use clojure 1.8 with it). Alternatively you can get rid of :present and :fullscreen and instead use specific WxH size which matches your monitor size.
