Issue 603 in xmonad: Problems with toggling focus on Chrome

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 603 by p...@cnphil.com: Problems with toggling focus on Chrome https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=603 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. In tiling mode, open up Chrome 2. Open up another window, say urxvt 3. Try toggling back and forth the focus with <Mod-Tab> What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Chrome should be responding to keyboard, mouse movement. But it just does not seem to realize it is on focus. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? xmonad 0.11.1 ghc 7.10.1 Chrome 43 beta Arch Linux Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". The problem persists even without an xmonad.hs Please provide any additional information below. In the attached image, you can see that the currently focused window is red-bordered (lower right), but it's not responding to keyboard strokes or anything unless I explicitly move the cursor there and click on it.

Comment #1 on issue 603 by allber...@gmail.com: Problems with toggling focus on Chrome https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=603 Does your xmonad.hs use EwmhDesktops? If not, please try configuring it: http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Hooks-EwmhDesktops.html Increasingly, recent gtk3 does not actually speak X11 but only the Wayland emulation parts of EWMH, which means that it is less and less compatible with non-Gnome3 and plays less and less well with applications that are not based on the same or later version of gtk3. I suspect whatever gtk3 this Chrome is using simply does not recognize X11 focus any more, only Wayland emulation focus. This suggests that Chrome will in the future not be worth the effort on X11 at all, unless you run nothing but Gnome3 environment and approved Gnome3-compatible programs. -- You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.

Comment #2 on issue 603 by p...@cnphil.com: Problems with toggling focus on Chrome https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=603 Chrome 42 or older does not have this problem. I've tested Chrome 43 under i3 and Plasma 5, both works. Seems to be xmonad's issue. -- You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.

Comment #3 on issue 603 by allber...@gmail.com: Problems with toggling focus on Chrome https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=603 Yes, I imagine both come with Wayland emulation aka EWMH out of the box. You must explicitly configure that in xmonad via EwmhDesktops; only ICCCM support is enabled by default. -- You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.
