Error in focused_window

[madhur]

Error in focused_window: bad event. (Cause: invalid value: integer 4294967294, expected i32 at line 1 column 330).

I am getting this error when I click on the window created by Global Protect VPN popup.

Here is the block configuration

[[block]]
block = "focused_window"
[block.format]
full = "$title"
short = "$title"

Can you run swaymsg -t get_tree and show the part for the Global Protect VPN popup?

e.g.

Those ids are so massive lol

Now just need to cross reference with swayipc-rs to see which field of tripping it

[madhur]

I removed theme and icon from the config and the bar displayed successfully, though I was able to reproduce the same issue again

[MaxVerevkin]

theme = "nord-dark"
icons = "awesome"

This syntax got removed, see https://github.com/greshake/i3status-rust/blob/master/doc/themes.md

[madhur]

theme = "nord-dark"
icons = "awesome"

This syntax got removed, see https://github.com/greshake/i3status-rust/blob/master/doc/themes.md

Got it. Corrected. However, the issue is reproducible.

[ammgws]

Hmm, can you run cargo update before cargo build?

[madhur]

Ok, Did that. However, same issue. Output:

[MaxVerevkin]

I think that's the issue:

 "rect": {
                    "x": 3388,
                    "y": 4294967294,
                    "width": 304,
                    "height": 349
                  },

4294967294 does not fit in i32

[ammgws]

Ah, good spot.

That is kinda weird, seems like a bug with i3?

[MaxVerevkin]

seems like a bug with i3?

Maybe. y = -2 makes more sense than y = 4294967294 (they have the same binary representation).

[ammgws]

These are the functions producing that output in i3/sway. I guess that cast is causing this in i3..

i3:

/**
 * Stores a rectangle, for example the size of a window, the child window etc.
 *
 * Note that x and y can contain signed values in some cases (for example when
 * used for the coordinates of a window, which can be set outside of the
 * visible area, but not when specifying the position of a workspace for the
 * _NET_WM_WORKAREA hint). Not declaring x/y as int32_t saves us a lot of
 * typecasts.
 *
 */
struct Rect {
    uint32_t x;
    uint32_t y;
    uint32_t width;
    uint32_t height;
};

static void dump_rect(yajl_gen gen, const char *name, Rect r) {
    ystr(name);
    y(map_open);
    ystr("x");
    y(integer, (int32_t)r.x);
    ystr("y");
    y(integer, (int32_t)r.y);
    ystr("width");
    y(integer, r.width);
    ystr("height");
    y(integer, r.height);
    y(map_close);
}

sway:

/**
 * A box representing a rectangle region in a 2D space.
 *
 * The x and y coordinates are inclusive, and the width and height lengths are
 * exclusive. In other words, the box starts from the coordinates (x, y), and
 * goes up to but not including (x + width, y + height).
 */
struct wlr_box {
    int x, y;
    int width, height;
};

static json_object *ipc_json_create_rect(struct wlr_box *box) {
    json_object *rect = json_object_new_object();

    json_object_object_add(rect, "x", json_object_new_int(box->x));
    json_object_object_add(rect, "y", json_object_new_int(box->y));
    json_object_object_add(rect, "width", json_object_new_int(box->width));
    json_object_object_add(rect, "height", json_object_new_int(box->height));

    return rect;
}

[MaxVerevkin]

y(integer, (int32_t)r.y);

But int32_t is signed, right? So this cast should do 4294967294 -> -2. But it doesn't?

[ammgws]

yajl casting it back? :shrug:

[MaxVerevkin]

Apparently this had been fixed in https://github.com/i3/i3/pull/4377

@madhur which version of i3 do you use?

yajl casting it back?

Nope, it uses long long int. (https://fossies.org/dox/yajl-2.1.0/yajl__gen_8c.html#a7b8f271521bf910145bfaf7fb74e91dd)

[ammgws]

No wonder it didn't make sense... on the right track but it was fixed already :laughing:

[madhur]

I am using i3-gaps from Fedora 36

❯ i3 --version
i3 version 4.19.1 (2021-02-01) © 2009 Michael Stapelberg and contributors

[MaxVerevkin]

Well... You can install the latest (4.20, already 9 months old) version of i3-gaps from COPR, I guess...

[madhur]

Yes, I built the latest from source and the issue has been resolved :)
