Having outspline-0.8.1 from AUR and wxpython-3.0.1.1 installed:

$ outspline

Ouch... I can't reproduce... Can you please post the output of outspline -L30?

[lahwaacz]

Sure, here it is:

I can only think of a race bug... What is your window manager?

[lahwaacz]

i3

[kynikos]

Yep, as I thought, I can reproduce it in i3, and also awesome... It's all right in openbox and xfwm... i3 and awesome issue the window creation event too early, I'll work on it... Thanks for your help!!! (I'm going to update the title of the report)

[kynikos]

Fixed in 0.8.2

[lahwaacz]

Indeed, thanks.

[kynikos]

Again, I thank you, it was practically broken for I guess 75% of the Arch users XD I would have never thought there could be a bug like that if it wasn't for you eheh
