Workspace order in bar does not maintain numerical order

[kgilmer]

It seems that at times workspaces are shown on i3bar out of numerical order.

STR

1. create and add windows to workspace 1 and 2
2. create workspace 17
3. create workspace 5

Expected behavior: workspace 5 appears between 3 and 17 in bar
Actual behavior: workspace 5 appears after 17 in bar

Fix pushed to regolith-stable.

I am up to date and still getting this problem when workspaces automatically dissappear because they are empty. For example:

• I open 3 workspaces
• 1 and 2 are removed automatically because no windows are in them, only 3 remains in the bar
• I press super+1 creating workspace number 1, which is placed second in the bar, after number 3

Hi @plagasul , I am guessing that you have older i3 config files. When package updates occur, they will not overwrite your existing i3 file. If you haven't made any changes to them that you care to keep, can you remove all files in ~/.config/i3-regolith/ and log back into your session? If you have made changes, maybe just rename them, log back in, verify your issue is fixed and then merge your updates back in?

I don't have time to try it atm, but what you say makes sense and it is probably it.
Is it possible to check the config and manually update that section ?
thanks

The Xresources changes are now in regolith-stable. Once you update and re-login, the issue should be fixed. Please reopen if this is not the case.
