No focus when using --fill

[Rintse]

The tool works fine when run without arguments.
However, when I call it with wmfocus --fill, it does not actually focus the matched window.

In the debug mode I cannot see anything going wrong.

How would I go about debugging this?

I am experiencing this too. I have multiple monitors and focusing works when targeting windows on other monitors but not windows on the monitor where the current window exists.

I did some debugging by subscribing to the window message bus

i3-msg -t subscribe '[ "window" ]' -m | stdbuf -i 0 jq 'select (.change == "focus") | {change, class: .container.window_properties.class}'

and found that when --fill is specified the requested window does get focused but the window with the mouse gains the focus back immediately.

Having the same issue, seems like the "overlays" created by wmfocus are handled by i3 as well. I have a workaround to close those overlays first, then do the focus: z1gc@769b4b3 (not very familiar with x11, so it just a workaround :)

--fill is broken for me too.

Having it working isn't important enough for me to patch it myself, but I would like to use it whenever the main package gets updated.
