Mouse hover on i3bar causes automatic workspace switching to first workspace about i3wsr

Hi @mksafavi, thanks a ton for the detailed issue! Appreciate all the details and the reproduction steps. I'll have a look this weekend.

Hi @Ali-Flt, I've tried, I refactored the whole app to try to get to the bottom of it, but I simply couldn't find a solution that worked. I'm not sure if its an i3 API issue or not, but IIRC i was able to reproduce the issue using i3-ipc. That doesn't necessarily mean anything, could still be an issue with i3wsr.

I was able to narrow it down a bit though, maybe I'll have a look again later, see if I can get any further

[roosta]

Ok I've had a look and I'm unable to reproduce.
Just so we've eliminated one thing, could you try the develop branch and see if the problem persists?

[mksafavi]

I'll try the develop branch on the weekend.
I tried the release version again. I can only reproduce it consistently with wm_property = "name".
With wm_property = "class" It happens once after starting i3wsr. And after that It was kinda random I couldn't identify how exactly it happened.

Did you try it with two monitors? I tried it with a single monitor and I couldn't reproduce it with either. I feel like it's a niche dual monitor problem that would be really hard to find.

Thanks again 👍

[roosta]

Yes I did try with multiple monitors, and was unable to reproduce. Did you get a chance to try the dev branch?

[mksafavi]

Hi.
I just built the develop branch. and it happens as well.
It also happens when moving floating windows between monitors with mouse (holding meta key and dragging window between monitors)
Could it be from my I3 setup? I'm running the arch repo build. Maybe I can try with a clean config to see if happens.

[roosta]

hmm, yeah give a clean config a try.
EDIT: removed a question that has been answered already

[roosta]

Hi again, did you ever get a chance to try a clean config? I suspect the issue might be with the i3 option focus_follows_mouse, but even with that on, I don't see the behavior you're reporting.

[roosta]

Just letting you know I was able to reproduce some odd behavior when moving windows between monitors, looking into it.

Turning focus_follows_mouse off didn't change the behavior on my machine.
I did try with a clean i3 config file. the issue was the same. I didn't get a chance to try with a new install yet.

good to hear that. 👍

I have the same/similar issue with 2 monitors. Randomly when moving or closing any window the active workspace can change.

[Ali-Flt]

@roosta any updates on this? do you think this may be an issue with i3's API?

[Ali-Flt]

@roosta thanks for the update. I created an issue in i3's repo about this as well: i3/i3#5924
