I still have this line at the bottom of my screen btw. no idea how to get rid of it. I also still have the border around conky, but I dont care so much about that as I dont look at my desktop much.
I can, for now, ignore all the mismatched tray icons, i spent months trying to solve that and gave up and just do my best to ignore that horrible mess.... but I am really tired of the line and tired of ignoring it and hoping an update fixes it... been months and still here... maybe not a bodhi problem, but i dunno how to fix it, and was caused by an update.
I saw that line. Temporarily. Firefox closed badly and the line stayed a while but when putting full screen it disappeared.
I see it sometimes but it only happens with firefox.
edit- not sure if it is the same. is in BL6
I suspect sometimes that some windows have 2 edge wincontrol.

I still hate this line. I tried building picom from source today, still does it. I guess it's picom problem. But really sucks. I'm sure its not plank problem now, cuz of the line around conky that appeared at the same time is still there even if I close plank dock. So the problem is caused either by an update in picom, or update in moksha. I wish I could just revert to old version of picom somehow to be sure, I guess I could figure out how to do that with github if I really tried, but argh. I've been putting up with and annoyed by this line for several months now.

Yes, you are right. Problem persists
Look at compton.conf again
Find frame-opacity = 1; If you change to 0, the line hides. But with line hide also all windows borders. The question now is how to set frame-opacity only for plank.

OK, you really warmed my head I have a trivial solution for you. Leave compton.conf as it is. I realized the plank is simply a framed window (confirmed in my post above). It means you should make plank borderless and remember the setup for next run. That's the trick. Let me show you the video: www.dropbox.com/s/arwe16z7snv8q4u/Kazam_screencast_00009.mp4?dl=0(press ALT + right mouse button click on plank to invoke the context menu. Hint for other users) Enjoy Stefan

I have no compton.conf, pretty sure I've said that. Something changed either in picom or moksha itself. It used to work fine with default settings with no config files, now it puts annoying lines on my screen that I have to put up with if I want to keep using plank dock (which I do). Something else changed that I don't have control of. I may be able to possibly fix it with a config file, but I haven't researched that. I think my next step to troubleshoot this would be to use github to checkout old versions of picom to figure out the last date it worked, then look at what changes they committed. If old version of picom didnt work, then its moksha's fault and nothing I can do about that besides report it here, as I do not want to build moksha from source for personal use ever again.

I didn't pay attention to which packages updated. Is there a way to check that history? If not, is there something I can install that can keep a record of that moving forward?
Also I still would love to know if theres any way to check history of what exactly was updated that day, to know if its more likely a moksha or picom problem...

I offered a method not related to picom or compton conf file even with video. It was based on window frame eliminating I described above. Have you read it? bodhilinux.boards.net/post/4766Stefan

I have actually noticed a weird line appear on my desktop. I’ll see if it’s still there when I get home and screen shot it. Otherwise Picom/moksha-module-Compton or whatever is working ok.

I think the border only appeared in the first place due to some change in Moksha, but anyways this works for me!
And Left_Alt+Right_Click is useful, I wasn't aware of that shortcut; I did know ctrl-alt-w which someone else on here posted a few months ago, but this is even easier. As I don't have taskbar to right click on, apps without a title bar were hard to get to that menu from otherwise.

Really weird you found my answer more than month later. But OK, I am glad I helped you.

I kept hoping it would get fixed upstream; I put up with this for months and months. It was fine before; this problem happened not because I set it wrong, but because some bug introduced in Moksha that adds borders to things that shouldn't have borders. These borders actually got thicker a couple weeks ago too during an update, that was the last straw. What I did now I consider a workaround cuz I'm tired of waiting for an actual fix.
FYI, the same thing happens with comptonmod moksha module (plus all the other weirdness that module causes).
Anyways, now I know how to avoid the issue. But I suspect this is still a problem, it shouldn't have happened in the first place. I suspect its related the window issues with firefox and chromium I've posted about in other threads. But anyways good enuff for me,but I don't think its actually fixed; the same problem would happen on clean install, so moksha still is broken. I suspect anyone who installs picom or comptonmod will have similar issues until its actaully fixed in Moksha (so that user doesnt have to change window border settings to make things act like they should act in the first place - Moksha SHOULD NOT be adding borders to plank or conky, this is a bug/problem that needs fixing, SHOULD NOT require user setting to remove borders that shouldn't be there in the first place). I suspect once the borders on browsers like chromium and firefox are fixed, probably that'll fix this too.

You are right. You made me think about the changes I did in border code. I have checked the e_border.c code and I can see the culptrit. I changed one line according some of our requests related to 1 pixel vs borderless. If you remember in some apps like document reader and other gnome apps, there is no border at all, thus no possibility for resizing with mouse. My code identified the borderless style of app and select 1 pixel instead. Now we know what is bad and my task is to solve how to detect a dock style app (which should be easy) and let it borderless.
Thanx for your feedback and idea
Stefan

OK, solved i.imgur.com/Zs0z0aI.jpgStefan EDIT: I have commited my solution to Moksha repo. Wait some days for another moksha deb package. I will not push Robert to make deb now as he did it only a few days ago.
