Urgency not being cleared #194

Closed subsetpark closed 6 years ago

subsetpark commented 6 years ago

The +U urgency indicators are not being cleared on my status bar. I'm not 100% on what triggers them, though certain things are apparent, like activity in WeeChat. However, simply activating those windows or using MOD+u doesn't clear the urgency indicator. I have to close the window to clear the number. This is on Arch Linux, version:

spectrwm: Welcome to spectrwm V3.1.0 Build: 3.1.0

Is the UrgencyHint flag actually being cleared on the window? You can check using xprop, WM_HINTS property. It is up to the program to clear the flag. What terminal do you use? rxvt-unicode, for example, will clear the flag when focus is changed.

@LordReg - thanks for clearing up my confusion. I had assumed, wrongly, that the urgency flag was the same as the activity highlighting in i3. Indeed, I see strange behavior with Sakura and the urgency hint. In my WeeChat, it clears urgency after returning to the terminal. However, in my shell (es-shell) it doesn't seem to. I'll dig in on my side.
