Description

Jetbrains Rider and Unity editor have the problem that popups auto close when the mouse leaves the bounding box of the floating window.

In some cases this can be prevented because it's known where the popup will appear but if the mouse is not inside when it opens there's no chance you can interact with the window.

I tried to get this under control with follow_mouse but that wasn't working out. The more promising workaround was with a window rule: windowrulev2 = stayfocused,class:^Unity,floating:1 for Unity and Rider. However, this rule breaks any form of drag & drop in Rider. Can't move folders, files or reposition code files anymore.

Is it possible to fix this problem without any weird workarounds? Of course I asked in Discord on several occasions but as outlined, I didn't find a solution that didn't have terrible side effects.

How to reproduce

Easiest is in Rider, press CTRL-Shift-F to open Find in files, move mouse outside the window, it will auto close. Expected behaviour: it doesn't close

[vaxerski]

that's a bug in our xwayland impl, and thus not very important to me

[enzi]

Sorry, I didn't mention it. The same thing happens in Rider with Wayland. Checked hyperctl clients to make sure XWayland is 0.

[vaxerski]

that's rider's doing then

[enzi]

I can report the bug to Jetbrains but I don't think they can do something about it and will just refer me back to you. After all, it's working in KDE or Gnome and has to do with hyprland sending a focus event to the main rider window as soon as the mouse leaves a popup window. While this is a feature I like very much for some apps it's not working out.

What I'm asking here is a window rule so that this can be prevented. As mentioned stayfocused fixes that particular problem but creates a more severe one, breaking drag&drop, so it's not an option.

A window rule that would only switch focus on a mouse click would help here. At least I think it should.

[vaxerski]

it's called focus follows mouse. That's what you opted in

[enzi]

It happens with Wayland and follow_mouse = 0 too.

edit: okay setting follow_mouse = 0 and float_switch_override_focus = 0 fixes the problem of Find in files closing when mouse leaves but still breaks drag&drop.

[enzi]

I got this working now with everything I wanted which means follow_mouse, mouse_refocus and float_switch_override_focus are at default values.

I've switched Rider back to XWayland because Wayland breaks drag&drop in Hyprland no matter what. and added a small patch to InputManager.cpp so there won't be a focus change when the window is floating and they have the same class.

} else {
            if (allowKeyboardRefocus && ((FOLLOWMOUSE != 3 && (*PMOUSEREFOCUS || m_pLastMouseFocus.lock() != pFoundWindow)) || refocus)) {
                if (m_pLastMouseFocus.lock() != pFoundWindow || g_pCompositor->m_pLastWindow.lock() != pFoundWindow || g_pCompositor->m_pLastFocus != foundSurface || refocus) {

                    if (!(pFoundWindow->m_bIsFloating && pFoundWindow->m_szInitialClass == m_pLastMouseFocus->m_szInitialClass)) // added this
                    {
                        m_pLastMouseFocus = pFoundWindow;

                        // TODO: this looks wrong. When over a popup, it constantly is switching.
                        // Temp fix until that's figured out. Otherwise spams windowrule lookups and other shit.
                        if (m_pLastMouseFocus.lock() != pFoundWindow || g_pCompositor->m_pLastWindow.lock() != pFoundWindow)
                            g_pCompositor->focusWindow(pFoundWindow, foundSurface);
                        else
                            g_pCompositor->focusSurface(foundSurface, pFoundWindow);
                    }
                }
            }
        }

If you're interested I can make a PR. I've just added this as proof of concept, though I think the logic of ignoring focus state of popups with the same class is solid enough.

edit: Wayland Rider Drag & Drop is broken in KDE Wayland too, so ignore that.

[vaxerski]

the patch is wrong behavior IMO.

[vaxerski]

popups on wayland should NOT be windows, but instead an xdg_popup. Then it would work correctly

[enzi]

Thanks vaxry, that's good information, I'll bring this over to the Jetbrains issue tracker.

Yeah, I can agree that this workaround should not make it into production. However, as Jetbrains Wayland isn't usable right now anyway and we have to fall back to XWayland, there's still no state that make follow_mouse = 1 work with it. As the patch also fixes the same problems in Unity (also XWayland), if you have any better idea or config, please tell me.

The patch could easily be extended to look for XWayland = 1 but that filter can also be just added to the window rule itself.

[vaxerski]

I'd assume that there is some atom or property set for the window to have focus precedence but idk what they use, since X11 is a total mess

For XWayland issues, I have little interest in spending hours to fix some small quirks.

For the wayland issue, this is a problem with your app

[enzi]

Vaxry, you have been very helpful. I can relate to the annoying XWayland quirks not finding motivation to fix them. Let's leave it at that, I found a personal patch, which others can also use if they so desire and until Jetbrains/Unity can do a proper Wayland implementation.

[enzi]

I reported the problem to the Jetbrains devs. Sadly didn't go so well and they have a pretty good argument against using xdg_popup.

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-115826/Wayland-Hyprland-Problem-with-auto-focus-and-popups-spawned-as-windows

So, any ideas that are not just disable auto focus? Personally I think going back to my initial workaround, the auto focus from follow_mouse makes no sense in the context of a window that has a floating window. At least I can't think of any normal circumstance where it would.

Child windows where auto focus should be prevented can be easily classified with having the same PID or class (but PID is easier to compare) and having floating enabled.

As you mentioned wrong behavior previously. What is wrong about it?

[vaxerski]

in its current state, this is unsolvable properly. One way would be to use https://wayland.app/protocols/xdg-dialog-v1 to mark the popup as a dialog, but this isn't yet supported in hyprland. I can draft an implementation, though, when I get the chance (on holiday atm)

[vaxerski]

KWin does support it atm so it could be used for testing

[enzi]

Thanks again. No worry, enjoy your free time. It's already great you're even replying!

Found this merge for Mutter: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/commit/cf8c3be0307c3e044d23658d0cd9f0d501f01ee3 Wayland doc is probably outdated.

that's gdk, the client toolkit, not mutter, the gnome compositor

[enzi]

well damn, got my hopes up. so it needs a separate implementation. didn't even find any tracking for it. oof

[vaxerski]

it shouldn't be a big deal unless you use gnome though :)

you could still suggest the impl in the ide to jetbrains guys, would be a step in the good direction

[enzi]

Yeah not interested at all in gnome ^^ I already suggested it to the jetbrains devs. Not really familiar with it, I would think they can implement a fallback when xdg-dialog-v1 is not available. Gnome is kinda big so I hope it doesn't get ignored because of it.

[vaxerski]

there is no fallback mechanism AFAIK that would explicitly request this kind of treatment

[vaxerski]

this is a good thing though - it forces app developers to only assume what the protocol assumes, and write conformant apps.

You cannot assume the compositor will not switch focus to another window of yours unless you use a protocol feature that explicitly states it will. :)

Instead of X11 hell, where everything and their dog was relying on bugs and """features""" of Xorg, we get uniform, clear and standard methods to achieve what we need.

[enzi]

100% with you, I just fear when the biggest or 2nd biggest DE doesn't have it implemented they will just stick to normal modal windows (like now). So I'm not sure how that is forcing anyone. :/ Kinda surprised that Mutter has it not implemented. Can't be that hard to add.

[romanstingler]

@enzi you should watch Brodie's wayland videos :) gnome always wants to be special, and they discuss things 10 years, others have already implemented for ages.

[vaxerski]

With Gnome's default focus behavior this bug should not manifest itself anyways (in gnome)

[enzi]

@vaxerski as you suggested it, hope you know. the jetbrains dev asked me:

I don't see xdg-dialog-v1 supporting the move request, so how is it better than xdg_popup?

My reply was:

Maybe I'm not reading it right?

The xdg_wm_dialog_v1 interface is exposed as a global object allowing to register surfaces with a xdg_toplevel role as "dialogs" relative to another toplevel.

and
https://wayland.app/protocols/xdg-toplevel-drag-v1

So, a dialog can be implemented just as a window as xdg_toplevel and then marked as dialog. Does that seem accurate?

[vaxerski]

absolutely, xdg_dialog is just a "tag"

[TraceLD]

@vaxerski imo the real issue here is that if you opt out of the default mouse following to a more traditional follow_mouse = 2, you can no longer drag and drop anything in JetBrains IDEs on native Wayland. Any idea what might be causing that?

[vaxerski]

misc:always_follow_on_dnd default true, has to be left as true for dnd

[vaxerski]

FWIW imo the correct way of solving this is for jetbrains to not close the window on lost focus but rather on something like a mouse button event on a surface that isnt the dialog
