Window painting over border when clicked on

[ghost]

When I hover over a window the border appears as usual. However, when I click on the window or interact with it somehow, it seems that the window repaints over the border and looks smaller.

This only started happening after I upgraded from bf3a656 to new commit 3e99cee.

Add yabai -m config active_window_border_topmost on to get back the old behaviour.

Does yabai -m config active_window_border_topmost on require SIP to be off?

[koekeishiya]

This setting no longer exists. It was a part of the border implementtatio back in version 2.x.x.
In the latest version (3.x.x), window borders require sip to be disabled.

I ran into a bug after updating to Big Sur that was at least superficially similar, but I fixed it.

In my case, I think I could only see the borders at the four corners of each window. I'm not sure what was causing the broken border state, but restarting yabai would only temporarily fix it.

I think there's some chance uncommenting the two lines at the top of .yabairc for Big Sur (to load the scripting addition), plus an additional yabai restart, is what fixed it.

In case it's helpful to anyone, I'm on Big Sur and also had the issue of borders being behind windows once you click on them. The "top two lines" @braham-snyder is talking about are these:

sudo yabai --load-sa
yabai -m signal --add event=dock_did_restart action="sudo yabai --load-sa"

Adding these to my yabairc fixed the issue for me!
