You need to specify the --enable-32bit-visual flag when starting i3. This is
done because everything feels sluggish on my system when using a 32 bit visual
instead of a 24 bit visual. Fast > fancy.
Abstracted draw_text and predict_text_width into libi3. Use
predict_text_width from libi3 in i3 too. This required tracking
xcb_connection in a xcb_connection_t *conn variable that libi3
expects to be available in i3bar.
Also, the API changed a bit. There are two functions now, both assume you
already got the keysyms (which is the case for i3 and i3-config-wizard),
one gets the modifier mapping for you (aio_get_mod_mask_for) while the other
assumes you also got that. No roundtrips are required for the latter.
- Introduce warp_to static variable in x.c that stores the coordinates
to warp to as a Rect.
- Add x_set_warp_to function to set this variable. Use in _tree_next,
workspace_show, and con_move_to_workspace.
- In x_push_chanages, if warp_to is set, then call xcb_warp_pointer_rect
and then reset it to NULL.
This fixes all know bugs for pointer warping for me.
These errors can happen because a DestroyWindow request by a client will
trigger an UnmapNotify, then a DestroyNotify. We cannot distinguish this
UnmapNotify from an UnmapNotify not followed by a DestroyNotify, so we just try
to send the ReparentWindow / ChangeProperty and ignore the errors, if any.
Actually, commit 1c5adc6c35 commented out code
without ever fixing it. I think this was responsible for the 'workspace
switching sometimes does not work' bug. My observations:
Had it again today and analyzed a log of it. Looks like after unmapping the
windows on one workspace (in my case: chromium, eclipse, urxvt, focus on
eclipse) we get UnmapNotify events for chromium and eclipse, but then we get an
EnterNotify for the terminal (due to unmapping the other windows and therefore
mapping the terminal under the cursor), only afterwards the UnmapNotify
follows.
So, there are two things wrong with that:
• We handle EnterNotifys for unmapped windows
• Unmapping windows sometimes works in a sequence, sometimes the sequence gets
split. Not sure why (if unmapping can take longer for some windows or if our
syncing is wrong -- but i checked the latter briefly and it looks correct).
Maybe GrabServer helps?
• We don’t ignore EnterNotify events caused by UnmapNotifies. We used to, but
then there was a different problem and we decided to solve the EnterNotify
problem in another way, which actually never happened (commit
1c5adc6c35).
The case of an X11 server having multiple displays is handled correctly by the
code in src/mainx.c. However, due to some functions not being correctly
refactored and still getting the first screen (and also the first root window)
from the XCB connection, i3 was operating on the wrong root window.
This fixes a bug where opening the Xpdf find dialog when Xpdf is in fullscreen
mode would crash Xpdf due to a zero-width and zero-height ConfigureNotify rect.
This fixes ticket #173, at least for the rendering errors.
I don’t really know why I implemented predict_text_width like it
was before (querying the whole table and pulling out information
one by one). Maybe I have overlooked xcb_query_text_extents. In
any case, it works better now.
Thus, no more flickering because the window was first mapped and then
moved. Especially users of multiple monitors should be happy now ;-).
Rather radical change, though, so be prepared for problems.
