Floating mode doesn't work on sway

[mtvrsh]

I'm running current main. With --restricted flag it works for some sizes.

$ wl-kbptr -o modes=floating,click -o mode_floating.source=detect
warn: Could not open config file '/home/mtvrs/.config/wl-kbptr/config'
*** BUG ***
In create_bits_image_internal: The expression bits == NULL || (rowstride_bytes % sizeof (uint32_t)) == 0 was false
Set a breakpoint on '_pixman_log_error' to debug

err: Failed to create pixman image.

I looked around and made quick fix: https://github.com/mtvrsh/wl-kbptr/commit/2068ffcaa60f22ddb0c6da20cdf8d021ff7f3e05 With this commit floating mode reliably works and floating mode with --restrict flag fails much less.

Not sure why it would not fail with your fix. It's only reducing the size of the area by one pixel on each edge. Maybe there's a bug before that that sets the initial area to 0x0 and then it creates an invalid area but then even with your fix it shouldn't behave normally. 🤔

I have a few questions to see if I could reproduce this on my end:

1. What version of Sway are you using?
2. swaymsg -t get_outputs?
3. Are you running it with 10bit depth rendering or any other display settings that would not be shown with swaymsg -t get_outputs?

Sure, thanks for looking into it.

3. Both displays are 8bit. Only thing I changed from defaults is position and mode. I am using nvidia, probably unrelated but who knows.

Not sure why it's doing this. I can't think of anything exotic with your system. I still haven't been able to replicate the issue. I've added some debug logs so that maybe it could give us a clue. 🤷
