Hi, since some recent updates I notice an issue that happens occasionally. Moving windows on Xfce is not possible. Using Alt+mouse I can move a window some pixel then it stops. Same issue when using window context menu -> Move.
Code:

     Mon Mar 20 11:43:25 2017 <<< x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-7.8.0
     Mon Mar 20 11:43:30 2017 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-7.9.0
     Tue Mar 21 09:24:51 2017 <<< xfce-base/xfwm4-4.12.3-r1
     Tue Mar 21 09:24:57 2017 >>> xfce-base/xfwm4-4.13.0

Doing xfwm4 --replace solves the issue for a short time, then it is there again.
Code:
$ xfwm4 --replace
/usr/share/themes/MurrinaNeoGraphite/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:52: Murrine configuration option "scrollbar_color" is no longer supported and will be ignored.
Waiting for current window manager (Xfwm4) on screen :2.0 to exit: Done

(xfwm4:31219): xfwm4-WARNING **: Unmanaged net_wm_state (window 0x1400004, atom "_NET_WM_STATE_FOCUSED")

How can I debug that?

Try to downgrade, one at a time, the packages xf86-video-ati and xfwm4 to even begin to understand if problem is one of these two package.

I do not use the ATI drivers, but I experience the very same problem after upgrade. So, the cause is probably the xfwm4-4.13.0

Using xfce-base/xfwm4-4.13.0 here as well. Can someone reproduce this issue?

I remember reading something on the lines somewhere a few days ago, so I looked in the git and saw a commit related to that window hint.

https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/commit/?id=84ef731d4ccf167886d4d2ed0557ebf8882105d7

Whether it's the one causing the problem, I can't really say, but there has been work related to that hint lately so it might be indicative of something.

For the time being, I suggest keeping the previous version of xfwm4.

While filing a bug report on bugzilla.xfce.org I found there is already a report. It's exactly that issue, pressing CTRL+1 toggles the lock.
-> bug 616644

Setting to [SOLVED] as the reason is an upstream bug and there is the workaround to switch back to CTRL+1.

Code:
commit dc6a5562a06951cb3fbfab4595463c73af3e2d0d
Author: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org>
Date:   Wed Apr 10 09:59:50 2019 +0200

    xfce-base/xfwm4: Backport upstream fix for event mask length

    Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/664710
    Signed-off-by: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org>

This should actually be completely fixed now that the event mask is set correctly.

[Moderator edit: added [code] tags to preserve output layout. -Hu]
