Description
-----------
Spawns programs from currently focused client's working directory. See this
-[blog post](
https://sunaku.github.io/dwm-spawn-cwd-patch.html) and this
-[announcement thread](
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.misc.suckless/7959)
-for more information.
+[blog post](
https://sunaku.github.io/dwm-spawn-cwd-patch.html) for more information.
+
+Currently the patch does not spawn into the cwd when the path
+to the working directory is 15 characters of length. For example
+spawning a new shell from a directory called ~/abcdefghijklm will
+open the shell in the home directory instead. This happens because
+the cwd to open is taken from the dwm status which gets truncated at a
+certain depth using ellipses (.../path/to/long/dir/name).
