Error `Unexpected X11 event: 65` when triggering keynav

[sim590]

At some point, which I can't describe with more details, keynav will cause the keyboard to freeze with the error Unexpected X11 event: 65. I have to kill keynav (by jumping in an old-school TTY terminal) in order to get the control of the keyboard back. Once it happens a first time, there's nothing to do. Every time keynav will be restarted and triggered by the appropriate keystroke, the same thing will happen. There nothing to do other than restarting X in order to "fix it" for a while. I don't know how to reproduce for now.

Seeing this in i3wm too

Happens to me when the keyboard is on a Hebrew layout instead of English

Im on en_US keyboard and it happens to me at launch Unexpected X11 event: 65` after the targetter is overlaid, hjlk are useless at point of launch. It may have something to do with switching to regolith linux in last few days so my compositor has changed picom, unsure.

Using manjaro Linux with xmonad + picom, seeing this too

[sitepodmatt]

Killing picom it seems to work. So I think it is a compositor problem.

Yeah picom seems to be the problem for me as well. Does anyone know how to get around this?

Is this the same issue as https://github.com/jordansissel/keynav/issues/42 ? Commenting out XUnmapWindow(dpy, zone); in keynav.c resolved this for me. I never had to kill keynav from TTY though. I'd lose control of keyboard but in reality the escape key sufficed to close the program; the grid was simply not displaying. Commenting out the line in question yielded the same result for me as killing picom did. Thanks!
