I've been hit by precisely this bug and found the solution here. Thanks for the work so I didn't have to write this patch myself 👍 |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Finally found some time (and motivation) to review this. This is the second-last thing on my list before I want to release 3.7.0!
Code looks good. Just some minor changes, I think the logic is reversed. Otherwise there is nothing else to do
By default, we group workspaces by monitor with the help of _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT. However, some users may experience this as an unpredictable "shuffling" of workspaces. While WMs could disable advertising the property itself, it seems more sensible to handle this at the level of polybar. Hence, introduce a new group-by-monitor flag—defaulting to true—which can be used to disable this behaviour.

We had someone else get bit by this, so I figured why not pick up the (pretty much already done) patch by @scaramangado from #2603 and add some docs.

Documentation (check all applicable)
This PR requires changes to the Wiki documentation (describe the changes)
I suppose documentation of the flag, as well as the incompatibility with
monitor-labelshould be put into the relevant xworkspaces page. Possibly with references to some of the above issues (although I don't know whether that'd help user find it).This PR requires changes to the documentation inside the git repo (please add them to the PR).
I added a changelog entry, not sure if there's anything else to be done.
Does not require documentation changes
