Status bar on external monitor is cropped

[jagerem]

How can I properly set multimonitor setup with different resolutions.
I have noticed unwanted behavior of status bar when I connected second external monitor. This monitor resolution is higher then primary one in the laptop. While in the laptop status bar width is ok in the external one is cropped (do not stick to the width of the screen - is shorter - pls see the attached picture). I was trying to find any solution in the net - that what I have found out was to apply the patch - statusallmons. However this did not help. As well I tried ro add/remove to my .Xresorces dpi parameter, scalling via xrandr but without success. Below I posted xrandr command result.
What is more whenever for the first time I connect the external monitor and set this via arandr and then save the config file, everything is ok but next time when I log in to the system with above mentioned settings the status bar is cropped on the second monitor.
Can anyone experienced similar issue?

Thanks in advance for any tip.
Best regards

The bar should resize according to the width of the monitor when new monitors are added or the resolution is changed.

I can't replicate the behaviour that you are describing. In the screenshot that you have provided the bar does not look cropped, but rather it takes up the full width of the monitor and the right hand side is completely black (#000000). Does that correct itself when changing e.g. tags?

It may perhaps be worth providing your config.h and patches.h to see if there is something there that may allow me to reproduce the issue.

Other observations is that the black line starts at 2560 and ends at 3429, suggesting that it draws up until the size of the laptop monitor. So I suspect that this has something to do with the initial drawable that is created using drw_create that creates a pixmap that has the size of the entire (combined) screen space.

This pixmap is enlarged via drw_resize, which is called from configurenotify if the size has changed or updategeom returns a positive value. That is apparently the only place where drw_resize is called from.

So either a ConfigureNotify event is not received when you log in initially or there is something else going on.
