Clicking on tab bars results in mouse click being sent through to window on next workspace

[g-regex]

Hi! I'm using hyprland 0.41.2 with the corresponding version of hy3 and have the following issue:

When clicking on a tab bar on one workspace, the click is sent to the active window on the next workspace.

For example, if workspace 1 looks like this ...

... and workspace 2 looks like this ...

... then, clicking on the left tab bar on workspace 1 results in the click being sent to the window on workspace 2, which in this case opens a menu:

The tab is switched as expected though.

Here is my hyprland.conf:

I installed the plugin via hyprpm, the wayland version is 1.22.0.

Let me know, if you need any further information. Thanks for looking into this :)

UPDATE: I have just updated to the now most recent version of Hyprland, namely 0.42.0, but the problem persists.

I also did some further investigation and it seems that the "clicking-through" behaviour only affects Qt GUIs, e.g. Okular, KeepassXC, etc..

Besides that, it is not always the application on the next workspace that receives the click (as I stated earlier), but it is rather the application on the most recently active workspace. E.g. if I have a Qt application open on workspace 10 and I switch directly to workspace 3, then no matter what is on the workspaces in between, clicks on the tab bars on workspace 3 will be sent through to the Qt application on workspace 10.

With this additional information, is anybody able to reproduce this behaviour?

potentially fixed by e452d04

[g-regex]

Thank you for your reply.

I have just recompiled hyprland and hy3, but unfortunately the problem persists. I have tested the issue as described in my initial post with the Okular PDF reader.

For context, here is the output of hyprctl version:

Hyprland 0.46.2 built from branch  at commit 0bd541f2fd902dbfa04c3ea2ccf679395e316887  (version: bump to 0.46.2).

The commits that potentially fix it are all on -git.

Oh, of course. My bad.

I'm on Gentoo, so I cannot install the hy3-git package from the AUR. I tried to build hy3 manually on commits e452d04 and 6870b14, but compilation fails.

I might be missing something obvious, so I include the output here.

Output for 6870b14 (current master):

Just to confirm that my setup is correct, I've just built hy3 manually at the hl0.46.0 tag with these commands and that version compiles.

[outfoxxed]

There have been breaking changes in hyprland's api between 0.46.0 and now. hy3-git requires hyprland-git. (just master on both)

[g-regex]

Oh, I see. Thanks. Will test this as soon as possible then - probably not before next weekend though.
