bemenu/wayland pagination not working correctly

[wentam]

Tested with pinephone pro.

Should be able to swipe below the menu to move to next page. Doesn't do that. (works with dmenu under X)

Swiping up for previous page works, and swiping left for cancel works. Only swiping down for next page is broken for me.

In some odd corner-cases sometimes I can make the 'next page' appear.

This is most likely an upstream issue and I'm not planning on spending the time to debug this currently. To keep things usable I'm setting environment.variables.SXMO_BMENU_PORTRAIT_LINES = "25"; in my configuration.nix to make the menu taller such that I don't need to scroll in most cases.

There's a patch for sway that should fix this swaywm/sway#6455, alpine ships a sxmo-sway package built from https://git.sr.ht/~stacyharper/sway which includes that patch.

Another work around is to use the volume buttons to navigate the menu.

Looks like the sway patch has finally merged, so I expect to be able to close this next sway release.
