Alacritty rule for floating makes window appear always on Monitor 1
When setting a rule for alacritty to open as floating, it always opens on Monitor 1 (doesn't accept center neither the position section of rectangle).
If I have monitor 2 selected the window doesn't get focus until I click on it.
This is my rule:
bspc rule -a Alacritty follow=on state=floating center=true
I've tried with and without follow argument and with and without center argument and the results is always the same.
System
Distro: Archlinux bspwm: 0.9.10
Yes, all my other rules applies normally. I've tried Yubico Authenticator, Imager, XCalc and Mousepad and they all worked fine.
I saw that thread but as for me the rule was applying (alacritty was opening as floating) i haven't follow the script.
Now I gave it a shot and something even weird happened. When I set up external_rules_command (even if the script is emptyalacrity works as intended and opens centred. If I returnexternal_rules_command` to an empty string, the old (wrong) behaviour returns.
Having external rules setup to anything did solve my problem, but looks more like a workaround then a proper solving, as both actions shouldn't happen. Alacritty should follow the center rule even though there is no external rules, and adding external rules shouldn't solve my issue.
If you want me to close this thread I can do. If you want me to help debugging and find the root cause I'm open to it as well
This is a very strange issue to me, I don't know enough about the inner workings of bspwm, so I recommend you keep this issue open and wait for someone smarter than me to help you out ;)
