test client?

webcord running on workspace 2 switch to workspace 1 and either run webcord from command line or drun from rofi. it used to switch focus to webcord on workspace 2 now it just doesn't do anything. not sure if its not requesting focus or if something changed to make that behavior change.

I had this too but as of https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/commit/bb4646bbdf7d3490c2442347d852a62470aec2aa focus seems to work as expected

[abs3ntdev]

updating to current head made me crash on start so im not able to check. logs: https://asdf.cafe/communal-alpaca.txt

[abs3ntdev]

still crashing on newest -git https://asdf.cafe/hardy-honeybee.txt

[vaxerski]

can you bisect this one? it looks like hl is crashing while trying to parse your monitor config...?

[abs3ntdev]

current head boots now. focus still doesn't switch to webcord when i do the steps i outlined above but it does work for other programs so im assuming webcord just isnt requesting focus

if i run webcord without --ozone-platform=wayland then focus on activate works for it

[gksudolol]

if i run webcord without --ozone-platform=wayland then focus on activate works for it

FWIW I can't run Electron apps with --ozone-platform=wayland flag anymore since tearing/xdg-output split into hyprwayland-scanner

Only opens with --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform

I think I also have this problem; when switching windows, the mouse pointer warps but if I just open a new window the focus stays on whatever the focus was on before and I have to actively switch into that windows after opening; I hope this is the same problem as described above?

Probably. I have the exact same issue.

[MangoIV]

this is a regression as well; this worked until like a few days ago.

[MangoIV]

I think my issue is gone? I don't know if that closes this one as well but at least when opening a new window, I get focus again.

I can confirm that focus is not activated anymore if I open a file on firefox anymore. The file is opened silently on firefox and I don't get focused on the firefox window anymore.

I can also confirm that focus_on_activate does not work for me as well. I thought I just did something wrong in the config but it seems like it is actually a bug.

it was working for some time for me but seems to have stopped working recently too. was working through June until i updated recently on nixpkgs-unstable

focus_on_activate works for most apps but doesn't work for Chrome. If I click on a text file from Nautilus, Sublime Text will get the focus and open the file. I'm not sure when this stopped working but it should be marked as a regression, not a bug. I'm currently on 70468857da2e64c35c7e79b7e63bff04e56e3be5

[muni-corn]

can confirm it seems broken for Chromium/Electron apps (Discord, Slack for me). Firefox seems to work as intended

[RichAyotte]

Does the following work with Firefox?

xdg-open https://baktz.com

In the console I see:

Opening in existing browser session.

Logs:

[LOG] Window 558fbeb06220 set title to Untitled - Google Chrome
[LOG] Searching for matching rules for google-chrome (title: Untitled - Google Chrome)
[LOG] Window 558fbeb06220 set title to baktz-website - Google Chrome
[LOG] Searching for matching rules for google-chrome (title: baktz-website - Google Chrome)

A new Chrome tab opens but it never gets focus.

If the browser is closed then everything works fine. The focus only fails when the browser is already open and a new tab is opened.

Firefox correctly gets focus for me with xdg-open <website>, yes :grin:
