Here are my notes about why. Fluxbox package page (on Open Build Service)

- there might be a bug fix for the fluxbox Version in bookworm/daedalus (bug fixing is still done after freeze, right?).
- compile v1.4 myself (might be a PITA)
- use another window manager

That might be easy or not. I don't know. It may not make it into sid in time for bookworm/daedalus.

https://sourceforge.net/p/fluxbox/bugs/1182/
So, fluxbox 1.4.0 seems to solve that issue.
Any suggestions which is the best path to choose with this?

My point is: the problem occurred after I updated from chimaera to chimaera and the question is, if that helps to find out, which package update causes the trouble, but I don't know if and how that is possible. 

What I can say: with 2 up to date versions of chimaera, amd64 has the problem, i386 has not.

And: installing gtk3-nocsd makes the problem worse (as in all windows have the problem then, not only FF/thunderbird)

I tested on a T450s, running amd64.

Is there a way to get the previous versions of packages before the update? (like for gtk, fluxbox, xorg, Iguess)

EDIT:
I have 2 PC (both Thinkpads) installed pretty much the same. (chimaere with fluxbox).
a T43 (IBM), i386
a T460p (Lenovo), amd64

Only the amd64 machine has the problem, the i386 doesn't lose the framing/controls (the i386 has less packages installed)

Not sure how I would figure out if that is the problem.
I'll try that one on the live system. I'm a bit irritated, since it wasn't necessary before on chimaera.
EDIT:
1) glad I did that on the live system.. after installing gtk3-nocsd and using arandr every window has the problem, not just FF/Thunderbird
2) I can confirm to have the problem only with fluxbox, xfce has no problem (also using arandr there)
(sorry missed your edit of the previous post)

It only happens in fluxbox.

If so, make sure gtk3-nocsd is installed.

For the live isos, root password is toor, user name is devuan and user's password is devuan.

Edit: It's not a CSD problem. I just got the same behavior. I added fluxbox, logged out and into fluxbox, changed the display with lxrandr from 1600x900 to 1360x768. Firefox lost its window border and controls. I changed back to 1600x900 using lxrandr and the window borders did not return.

I'm back in xfce now and everything is normal.

->instaling firefox and arandr
-default XFCE: no problem in both cases (before and after using arandr/xrandr)
-additional install of fluxbox, logout and start fluxbox session: FF works fine. Using arandr -> same problem, FF without any windowframes (thus no moving/resizing/focus etc.)

The "load to RAM" option just copies squashfs to memory so you can remove the USB stick once the live desktop is running. That options does not affect the installer, at least as far as I know.

Do I have to use the "load to RAM" option from the liveCD or will the install take place in RAM anyways?

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ is empty, so it seems I haven't messed around there. Neither is that an option, as I use the NB on the road from time to time.

Can I choose fluxbox directly from the live CD?

Yes. Just install the fluxbox package and then log out. Fluxbox should then be an <F1> option in the log in screen.

Pro tip: change the password first if you don't know what the live password is (I don't): sudo passwd devuan.

And in respect of multi-head X.Org configuration see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/multih … _xorg.conf.
