This was a nice idea to fix most focus bugs at once. However, due to the
runtime of e many things can get "randomly" focused, for exmaple: volume
control on the frame, internal dialogs, config value screens when
grabbing for keys, widgets when they get created in a gadget. The list
is quite long. However, fixing all those little bugs is hard and partly
impossible as the behaviour is correct in the context of a toolkit, not
in the context of a compositor.
Long term we should split window-focus and canvas-focus from each other,
then bugs like these would not be a problem anymore.
By default, desktops should (realistically) be assigned some form of
name so that they are not blank. This Fixes the issue of no Desktop
labels in the Virtual Desktop menu, and also fixes the issue mentioned
in the below ticket where "Show on Specific Desktop" dialog would not
show any type of description for the desktops when trying to place a
shelf.
NB: Uses the format of Desktop X,Y (ie: Desktop 0,1)
Fixes T8838
@fix
this is an easy format string attack vector which serves no purpose
that I can fathom. the commit log where it was added it also made
no mention of this, as it was done in a seemingly-unrelated feature
addition
this adds core basic handling for window stacks where windows behave
correctly as a single unified stack something like what naviframe does
but out-of-window so you can including multiple processes. only on x11
right now as it's being supported/worked on.
as we dont plan to kepe naviframe in future, this is the way to go.
naviframe "pages" will be windows in a stack. the wm should do the
nice thing. in e this will be very nice. for now elsewhere we use
transient_for so a wm would treat this like a bunch of dialogs with a
single parent window. i guess in a desktop thats probably what you
might expect. e will be a little more "finesse" filled.
need to make ibar, tasks,m win menu and winlist (alt-tab) respect this
and only show the top member of a stack.
need to send messages to clients when they are "top" or "middle" or
"bottom" or "alone" in the stack or something so decorations can change.
should add soem new border signals in theme (for both SSD and CSD) to
make this look nice. will need some config additions for that and
ability for e comp to do the right thing
but this is a solid start
these are generic objects which can be added to indicate that there
is something blocking window placement at the edge of a screen/desk.
this replaces the traditional method of watching shelves to calculate
useful geometry with a managed object which will automatically trigger
a recalc whenever it is updated, and it allows non-shelf objects to
more easily register themselves as obstacles for window placement
this removes the per desktop profile config and replaces it with a
per-screen one that is tied to a specific display so it is far more
logical than per desktop. this allows e to set up different scaling
per screen for apps that use elementary for example via this derived
profile.
this of course is slightly problematic for e itself since it now uses
elm - as this will cause e to go kind-of-crazy with differing profiles
as it fights with itself and elm if 2 screens have different profiles.
this requires elm to be fixed to allow custom profiles per window.
this also currently won't switch profile of a window when you
reconfigure screens.
@feature
xx
since forever, sticky windows have not been allowed to receive focus after
various events, eg. desk flip or window close. in some workflows, however,
this may actually be desired behavior
disabled by default
fix T2837
the currently visible desk for a zone is stored on the zone struct, so
iterating here is unnecessary. furthermore, at the time when a desk is hidden,
a client may begin receiving mouse events which could trigger a focus-set and
lead to another desk flip. at this time and only this time, the "current" desk
will be marked as not visible, and so this sort of desk show must be rejected
fix T2676
in the case that a client is going to be shown on the next loop iteration,
focus setting must still occur and be deferred
this fixes the case of a window appearing on a desk while the user is switching
desks away from it even though this window is attempting to focus itself
there is only one E_Comp which can now be accessed by the e_comp global.
if you're editing a file with some uses of these deprecated functions, replace their usages with appropriate references to this variable
pass -Wno-deprecated-declarations to ignore these warnings during build
Summary:
The loop E_CLIENT_REVERSE_FOREACH was used to iconify and uniconify the
icons. The worked well for uninconify.
But if the first client with the focus gets iconifyed the lower one in
the stack will get the focus and will be raised to the top, but the loop
will continue with the next of the now iconifyed e_client, so this one
will be skipped.
Now the forward loop is used to iconify and the reverse to uniconify the
e_clients.

Was the wrong structure type which caused writing after the allocated
size and was generally bad and wrong.
