Focused output uses incorrect scale on multi monitors #191

Open fancycade opened 3 years ago

This is an issue that came up when working on a fix for #102.

As stated before:

The rendered output wont properly have scaling in the case where the monitor/screens have different resolutions #102 (comment), see point 2.

Still have to figure out which output is being used so as not to overwrite its scale with the other output scale.

The compositor chooses which output to display bemenu on but bemenu sets the scale.

The scaled is determined by whichever output comes first in the outputs list.

Ideally it would be possible to query the compositor which output is "focused", but the protocol doesn't seem to support this. There are also

bemenu-run --monitor=all works fine, the issue is only when a single monitor is "focused" when monitors are plugged in.

Here is a decent work around on sway:

bemenu-run -m $(swaymsg -r -t get_outputs | jq -r '. [] | select (.focused == true) | .name')
