I'm having glitching layouts in awesome wm i'm just a beginner with awesome, so don't know if this is a bug or totally my fault (probably the latter). This happens both when using the key-combinations as the buttons.
A screenshot of what happens: screenshot

PS. I use lain by copycat-killer for cpu,ram,... widgets also i based my personal theme of of his theme multicolor the bug might be in there as well.

There is many possible causes
When there is no client and no wallpaper, it got glitchy. This is fixed in git-master, but not in 4.0
This is done on purpose to keep the terminal size a multiple of the character height. This can be disabled by changing the honor size hints default. See the FAQ
Wither start a compositor such as comton
or start awesome with --no-argb
. Some buggy video drivers and hardware combination are known to cause this. Either solutions should work.
