This did not happen all the time. It seems like you need to have a
container which is in stacking/tabbing mode on the screen which
is being reconfigured. (when doing xrandr --output VGA1 --off for
example)

When the sending application was so fast (*cough*) that the messages
could get queued by the kernel, it may happen that we receive multiple
messages at once.
Sometimes, it may happen that the focus is "nowhere" and thus the
user is stuck. This was often the case with opera, sometimes with
pcmanfm. See ticket #118.

This fixes many problems we were having with a dynamically growing
array because of the realloc (pointers inside the area which was
allocated were no longer valid as soon as the realloc moved the
memory to another address).
Again, this is a rather big change, so expect problems and enable
core-dumps.
This is necessary now, because when creating a new row, several
containers have to be created. Since the implementation of the default
mode for containers, this also involves rendering the layout. However,
when rendering the layout, all of the containers are potentially
accessed…
As the workspaces are now created dynamically, we cannot rely on
the workspaces to be there when we need them without creating them.
On the other hand, this eliminates the case that there are no workspaces
to assign to a new screen, because now we can just create one.
The following new directives have been implemented for the configuration
file:
new_container <default|stacking|tabbed>
new_container stack-limit <cols|rows> <value>
Note that they require using the new lexer/parser, which you can
do by passing -l to i3 when starting.
For example, you can create a mode which will let you resize windows
with some easy to use keys. So, instead of binding a combination
of your homerow and modifiers to resize, like this:
bind Mod4+44 resize right +10
bind Mod4+45 resize right -10
...
You can instead define a new mode:
mode "resize" {
bind 44 resize right +10
bind 45 resize right -10
...
bind 36 mode default
}
bindsym Mod4+r mode resize
So, if you press Mod4+r now, your keybindings will be set to the ones
defined in your resize mode above. You can then use your homerow
(without any other modifier) to resize the current column/row and
press enter to go back to the default mode when you are done.
Note that using this option requires you to enable the new lexer/parser
by passing the -l flag to i3 when starting.
Warning: This is not yet thoroughly tested, so be prepared to
encounter some segfaults. Please enable logging and coredumps,
so we can fix bugs quickly.
