The Clang Static Analyzer uncovered those issues:
- The variable "changed" in handlers.c is written to, but it's
never read since that specific write, so the write is not
necessary.
- In util.c, "tail" may be NULL. In that case, we shouldn't pass
it to strlen because strlen's behavior is not defined when s is
NULL.
- In util.c, "write_index" is incremented twice. It's never used
anymore after being incremented once, so the second increment is
not necessary.
This fixes the bug which caused floating windows to be visible even when
switching to a different workspace.
Instead of ignoring a specific sequence, we now set an ignore_unmap counter for
each container. (So, should containers be closed too early or stay open even if
they should be closed, we probably need to have a closer look at the counter.
At the moment, it is increased by one on reparenting and unmapping (for
workspace changes) and decremented by one on each UnmapNotify event).
This system is better because a sequence does not describe a single unmap or
reparent request but a request to X11 on the network layer -- which can contain
multiple requests.
This would lead to i3 thinking that a new window was already managed if it
has the same X-ID as the old window. Instead, we need to fix the EnterNotify
problem in a different way.
This helps for windows which are immediately destroyed instead of
unmapped, like when starting i3status | ./foobar | dzen2 -dock
and foobar does not exist (i3status and dzen2 will get a SIGPIPE).
Before this commit, i3 used key bindings in SYNC mode for bindings
like Mode_switch + <a> and replayed the key if the current state
did not include Mode_switch. This had some problems:
1) The WM needed to acknowledge much more key presses than you
actually had bindings for, thus making the system a bit laggy
sometimes.
2) Users of layouts who constantly type in the third level (like
russian layouts) did not get their cyrillic symbols correctly
(they were not replayed right), neither did the keybindings
work in both modes.
So, the current implementation uses the following approach: XKB
provides an event which contains the current state (including
the current level). i3 signs up for this event and upon receival,
it re-maps the bindings using Mode_switch (enables them when the
level goes to the third level and disables them as soon as the
level goes back to normal). This fixes both problems.
