Issue 111: Clicking on tab doesn't work if that screen doesn't have focus http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=111 Comment #5 by SpencerJanssen: Note that issue #113 describes another symptom of this issue. The fix is correct -- xmonad should not handle button messages as such a special case. The underlying issue is that both 'broadcastMessage' and a layout's message handler may need to edit the windowset. This tends to work alright in some cases, but strange things happen when workspace or screen focus changes. We need to provide some way for layouts to queue these state changes that should be applied after the message handler returns. Additionally, we should find some way to statically prevent these unsafe calls to 'windows' in layouts and message handlers. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
