mouse_warping container does't take effect when toggling focus between floating and tiled layers

[b0o]

Please fill out the following:

• Sway Version:

  • sway version v1.5

• Description:

Based on the descriptions of the mouse_warping and focus mode_toggle commands, it would seem to reason that changing container focus via focus mode_toggle should trigger a mouse warp when mouse_warping container is set. Currently, the mouse cursor remains stationary.

mouse_warping output|container|none
  If output is specified, the mouse will be moved to new outputs as you move focus between them. If con‐
  tainer is specified, the mouse will be moved to the middle of the container on switch. Default is out‐
  put.

focus mode_toggle
  Moves focus between the floating and tiled layers.

Indeed, your understanding is correct. I just tested this, and it seems the conditions necessary to reproduce this issue are that the area of the floating container must overlap with the location on the tiling layer that will be warped to. In that case, the warp will not happen; otherwise, the warp succeeds.

Does this match what you are experiencing?

Yes. To be more specific, it seems if the center of the floating window overlaps the container to be focused on the tiling layer, the warp does not happen.

I've submitted #5780 to address this, if you'd like to give it a try.

@Xyene Thank you! I haven't had a chance to test it personally yet, will do so soon. Glad to see it's merged.
