New Windows do not get tiled. If I stop and start yabai the window will be tiled.

[snazzybunny]

Hello I am new to yabai. Whenever I make a new window of any application, it doesn't seem to get tiled.

Yabai can query the new window fine. But I can drag this window around like a normal OSX window. If I stop yabai and start it again, the window will be tiled. I have also tried manage=on rules like this:

yabai -m rule --add app="Microsoft Edge" role="AXTextField" subrole="AXStandardWindow" manage=on

But it seems that this behavior happens to any new window created after yabai is already running. Anyone know what is wrong?

On Sonoma 14.4.1 m2 max Installed yabai via brew install koekeishiya/formulae/yabai --HEAD

My config

# for this to work you must configure sudo such that
# it will be able to run the command without password

yabai -m signal --add event=dock_did_restart action="sudo yabai --load-sa"
sudo yabai --load-sa

# default layout (can be bsp, stack or float)
yabai -m config layout bsp

# New window spawns to the left if vertical split, or top if horizontal split
#yabai -m config window_placement first_child

# New window spawns to the right if vertical split, or bottom if horizontal split
yabai -m config window_placement second_child

# padding set to 12px
yabai -m config top_padding 12
yabai -m config bottom_padding 12
yabai -m config left_padding 12
yabai -m config right_padding 12
yabai -m config window_gap 12

# center mouse on window with focus
yabai -m config mouse_follows_focus on

# modifier for clicking and dragging with mouse
yabai -m config mouse_modifier alt
# set modifier + left-click drag to move window
yabai -m config mouse_action1 move
# set modifier + right-click drag to resize window
yabai -m config mouse_action2 resize


# when window is dropped in center of another window, swap them (on edges it will split it)
#yabai -m mouse_drop_action swap

yabai -m rule --add app="^TextEdit$" role="AXTextField" subrole="AXStandardWindow" manage=on
