Desktops (workspaces) support about alttab HOT 7 CLOSED

EWMH switching issues basically fixed (#45).

from alttab.

I'm noticing this today in i3:
When I have a workspace that's not visible, and on that workspace there are stacked windows, such that window X is in front of window Y. If I use Alttab to switch to window Y, it takes me to the correct desktop, but it does not raise window Y, which is still behind window X.

I'm not sure what do you mean by invisible workspace. Could you point to the specific section in https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html ?

I just meant: I have 5 workspaces and 2 monitors. So only 2 workspaces are visible at a time on those monitors. The other 3 workspaces are not visible.

I can't reproduce this. I did the following:

run alttab -d 1
i3-msg 'layout stacking'
opened some windows, they appear stacked
switched to another workspace ($mod-number), opened some windows there
pressed alt-tab and switched to arbitrary window on stacked workspace

Every time this procedure switches desktop, brings correct window at the front and focuses into it.

I'll let you know if I'm able to reproduce it again -- seeming fine today.
