"ThisWindow (Screen XY) Sticky" broken? in DesktopConfiguration global

[MasterP-theGu]

In DesktopConfiguration per-monitor, I have this in my config:

DestroyFunc MoveWin
AddToFunc MoveWin | PipeRead 'echo Move'
+ I ThisWindow (Screen 2) Sticky

and it makes all windows on Screen 2 Sticky (albeit without the horizontal bars in the title).

When I change to DesktopConfiguration global, the same windows are not sticky anymore, and the above part of my config file doesn't seem to do anything.

Windows that were made sticky in per-monitor Configuration will disappear from all pages apart from the one on which they originated when I switch from per-monitor to global using FvwmConsole.

build: gh-28
config: basically default

This is working fine for me.

# 1: Functions

So..

With MoveWin defined in your config, if I do:

Pick MoveWin

in FvwmConsole and select a window to move to Screen 2, then that window becomes sticky.

If I switch between per-monitor and global via FvwmConsole, those windows that were sticky remain so, and those windows don't lose their state.

What am I missing?

[MasterP-theGu]

Before I make a video, let me try words.

1st idea:
In per-monitor Configuration, the window on Screen 2 is not actually sticky (just confirmed with FvwmIdent, which I could have done earlier). The effect of stickiness is achieved by pager movement on Screen 1 not being followed by any kind of movent on Screen 2. So, I move around pages and desks on my HDMI-1, but remain static on Desk 0 Page 0 on HDMI-2.
My mistake to not have seen that earlier.

2nd idea:
Switching between per-monitor and global reveals independent views of the Screen 2. When I switch from global to per-monitor, every window on Screen 2 remains visible. When I now change Desktop or Page using the pager, I only change that for Screen 2, so that all windows on Screen 2 remain visible (as Screen 2 still is, say, Desk 0 Page 0, where I started). If I then switch back from per-monitor to global, the view on Screen 2 is now switched to the same Desk / Page as Screen 1, and if that is different from the initial place, my windows "disappear".
Of course, they don't disappear, it's the view that changes.

Conclusion
This has nothing to do whatsoever with Stickiness, it has something to do with how the pager moves differently in the two configuration modes - and how I (mis)understood the concept.

I hope I haven't done too much damage to your time when I filed the issue (which isn't a bug, after all), and I can only offer to help write the documentation of per-monitor/ global behaviour with the laymen like me in mind.

I think, and if only as an initial help for people like me, a double-pager or a second pager for the second screen in case per-monitor configuration is used, might be helpful in the default config. I would have seen the different movements / views.

[ThomasAdam]

@MasterP-theGu -- if this issue can be closed, please do so. If we need something visual for the behaviour you've identified, I'll consider it. But it could be documented as well.

[MasterP-theGu]

@ThomasAdam I close this. Documentation will be fine. I'll help if I can.
