i3: Workspace and window focus out of sync

What I did:

I opened several windows.

What I saw:

Windows randomly open in last focused workspace instead of current. Focus randomly switches back to previous open window when opening a new one. Urgency color gets set randomly on the last focused workspace when opening a window in the current workspace.

What I expected instead: Focus should be on the opened window and window should open in the focused workspace.

Hi,

I had the same issue aureooms mentioned above (“Open Terminator twice in same workspace, focus stays on the first.”).

I could easily fix it via disabling DBus server within Terminator’s “Global” settings.

Hope that helps! Regards, Gerhard
