Greg and N, thanks.  in fact, adding focusonclick, i no longer see the
problem (well, so far, but long enough to make me think it is resolved).
cheers, Greg

Hi Greg,

You could probably try the "focusonclick" patch[0] to confirm your
suspicion. I personally use it because I find that feature annoying.

But on monocle layout, I don't think it should be possible for the mouse
cursor to change focus. So your problem is probably related to some
patch you're using. Try using vanilla dwm without any patches and see if
you still run into the issue.

I have not experienced this.

[dev] dwm oddity

hi.  i'm using dwm v6.2 under Arch linux.  my own source build.  i'm
using the "taggrid" patch.  my laptop has a touch pad.

when i am in monocle mode (which i mostly am), every now and then when i
type a key, i end up in a situation where the application hasn't changed
(i.e., is what is showing on the screen), but the keyboard focus (and
the "title" on the bar, next to the tags) changes to one of the
non-visible apps.  likely, the heel of my palm is making some (light?)
contact with the touch pad.

i'm wondering if anyone has seen this, or has any thoughts?

cheers, Greg
