Hello,
to me it seems that the z-layering of floating clients is a bit
unexpected, and could be improved from my point of view.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Assume that three clients overlap each other in floating mode:
1. (top) $CLIENT3
2. (middle) $CLIENT2
3. (bottom) $CLIENT1
+-----------+
| $CLIENT2 |
| +-----------+
| | $CLIENT3 |
| | |
+-----| |
| | |
| +-----------+
| $CLIENT1 |
+-----------+
When selecting the next client down the order of clients is:
1. $CLIENT1
2. $CLIENT3
3. $CLIENT2
after:
+-----------+
| $CLIENT2 |
| +-----------+
| | $CLIENT3 |
| +-----------+ |
+--| | |
| | |
| |--+
| $CLIENT1 |
+-----------+
So far so good...
When selecting the next client down again I would expect the order of
the clients to be:
1. $CLIENT2
2. $CLIENT1
3. $CLIENT3
But wmiiwm reorders the windows to:
1. $CLIENT2
2. $CLIENT3
3. $CLIENT2
expected: wmiiwm:
+-----------+ +-----------+
| $CLIENT2 | | $CLIENT2 |
| |-----+ | |-----+
| | | | | |
| |--+ | | | |
+-----------+ | | +-----------+ |
| | | | | $CLIENT3 |
| |--+ | +----------+
| $CLIENT1 | | $CLIENT1 |
+-----------+ +-----------+
Is anyone able to reproduce the described behaviour and would you agree
that this is somewhat unexpected and could be improved.
Please find attached a small shellscript that if run from an xterm
managed by wmii-3.5.1 demonstrates the oddity.
