Loosing focus after creating new tag in background

[ghost]

Hello,

after creating one tag in background (nopopup) the focus on my current window in my current tag is lost.

I'm using the shifty package of debian (testing).

Greetings

Hello,
Can you provide the exact procedure ?

Also you may consider that debian is not using this repository as source. Please ensure that.

Hello,

sorry for the unclear description.

I'm working on tag 1 with my windows (e. g. mostly xterm). Of course one xterm window has the focus, as i'm typing in this window. Now i'm creating a new tag with Mod4+Shift+A (creating new tag in background).

This results in not leaving my current tag (as wanted) but I loose my current active (focused) window. I stil can type in xterm, but I cannot change the windows with Mod4+j/k. The only way to get back the focus to any window is by moving the mouse pointer.

Maybe the pictures below show better the situation.

I uploaded the debian file under http://pastebin.com/YQ56zgjd
The difference between this file and your repository is mostly in getpos, I think.

Thanks for your help.

I'm not actually using anything like this version of shifty atm, so its
hard for me to debug, but:

• Can you gist/pastebin the keybinding and any helper functions you're
  using to generate the new tag?
• Do you have awful.autofocus enabled?
• Is the focus moved to a rename prompt?
• What happens to your client focus history? I'm looking at line 731:
  awful.client.focus.history.add(c)

as a potential problem.

Hello,

I tried now with the shifty version of this repository. But it keeps still the same.

You can find my rc.lua under: http://pastebin.com/55xNW6aF

• Keybinding is the following:
  awful.key({modkey, "Shift" }, "a", -- nopopup new tag
  function()
  shifty.add({nopopup = true})
  end),
• No, there is no focused rename prompt
• How can i check what happens to focus history?

Thanks for your help!

I think PR #16 should close this.
