New issue 258 by j...@kitenet.net: Magnifier focus loop http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=258
What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. use magnifier Tall layout 2. open several windows 3. change focus with mouse back and forth between two windows
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Changing focus between two windows using the mouse with focus follows mouse can cause the magnifier to enter a loop where it first focuses the upper window and magnifies it, then focuses and magnifies the lower, etc.
To cause the loop, the mouse has to be wiggled just right, to move more quickly than xmonad can focus+magnify a window. There is a rectangle where the magnified window overlaps the other window. Change focus by moving the mouse pointer from the magnified window to the other window, and then quickly move it back into the overlap rectangle. If this is done before xmonad has finished reacting to the initial focus change, then it will get into the loop.
To break out of the loop, move the mouse pointer outside the overlap rectangle.
I can reproduce it on demand here by just moving the pointer up and down repeatedly as fast as possible using my laptop's touchpad. I have also reproduced it by accident a few times. I can provide a video of the bug in action if my description doesn't make sense.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.8 debian unstable
