Describe the bug fullscreen windows not behaving how they should

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. get a fullscreen'd window
  2. switch to a different workspace (switcher or expo)
  3. go back to the original workspace (window is in the "different" workspace, and is hidden)
  4. have to alt-tab to get the window back

Expected behavior window stay in fullscreen on the same workspace

This often times happens with some games which minimize themselves when they lose focus, but this is nothign that Wayfire can fix.

Do you get this issue with for ex. your web browser?

iliketwertles commented 2 months ago

i see, this does not happen with my browser. i think i did not encounter this issue in other wms/compositors due to them not having a minimize feature. is there a way to disable wayfires? that might solve my "issue".

Not really, but from previous users reporting similar issues there often is a setting in the games or the runtimes (if using wine for example) where you can turn this behavior off. Or alternatively you can use the IPC to make a script which auto-restores all windows.

This is exactly the sort of problem that Gamescope is meant to resolve.
