Alacritty 0.10.1 opens in float mode

[windowsrefund]

Mac Monterey 12.3.1 Yabai v4.0.0

I just upgraded Alacritty to version 0.10.1 and am surprised to see it open in the center of my screen, above all other windows.

Things I've tried:

• Restart yabai
• Remove ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yaml

Whatever the issue is, it was definitely introduced in Alacritty 0.10.0 as 0.9.0 runs fine.

Got the same issue.

same

Same, but its probably an alacritty issue rather than a Yabai one

One workaround I have found that works with 0.10.1 is the following in .skhdrc:

# instead of just `alacritty` or `/opt/homebrew/bin/alacritty`
cmd - return : /Applications/Alacritty.app/Contents/MacOS/alacritty

[Combowombo]

actually i restarted my yabai and it seems to work now

[bspellmeyer]

Using open with the -n flag did the trick for me. Example skhdrc:

hyper - return : open -n -a 'Alacritty.app'

I don't use skhd, but have this issue. Is there any way to fix that?

[koekeishiya]

This is an Alacritty issue.

[tartavull]

Any other advice on solving this issue?

The issue still reproduces for me even when using this path instead of the homebrew one. I'm not sure what really different between the two they have the same hash

hbp ➜ ~ sha512sum $(which alacritty)
d34e0a15219619c27763826ef12251ed999a9e18a19205d32a63df52a00e5259ce71820437dbb99b636c9c8c31b34a2d77fba24313ac8dd11c1ed3900bc3de8f  /opt/homebrew/bin/alacritty
hbp ➜ ~ sha512sum /Applications/Alacritty.app/Contents/MacOS/alacritty
d34e0a15219619c27763826ef12251ed999a9e18a19205d32a63df52a00e5259ce71820437dbb99b636c9c8c31b34a2d77fba24313ac8dd11c1ed3900bc3de8f  /Applications/Alacritty.app/Contents/MacOS/alacritty

I use this command to reproduce the issue:

while true; do
alacritty -t 'test yabai bsp' -e sh -c 'yabai -m query --windows --window | jq .title; sleep 0.5';
sleep 0.5
done

I'm gonna try and see what changed in my set up to trigger this issue now. Maybe going back to an older Alacrity build would help?

Whatever the issue is, it was definitely introduced in Alacritty 0.10.0 as 0.9.0 runs fine.

Perhaps I'll stick with 0.9.0 for now

@hamidzr for me hash of /opt/homebrew/bin/alacritty differs from that of /Applications/Alacritty.app/Contents/MacOS/alacritty

version: 0.12.2
