[Bug 1827302] Re: 18.10 → 19.04 Alt-Tab cycling no longer includes Slack window
Thank you so much Alistair! That worked for me! I actually already had a launch script for slack to do a bunch of stuff, one of the things is attaching an icon to it post-launch. I was able to modify the script to handle running the "xprop" line above automatically. I'll post my script just in case it helps anyone, it's got comments so you can comment out sections you don't want. It does 3 things: 1. Launches slack with dev tools available (right-click inspect) 2. Applies the slack icon to the slack window after it's launched 3. Applies the window manager "NORMAL" type to the slack window after it's launched, so alt+tab works as normal. I launch using this script instead of the normal slack binary (I put it into ~/bin/slack and invoke it from there). ** Attachment added: "slack" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/1827302/+attachment/5261910/+files/slack -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1827302 Title: 18.10 → 19.04 Alt-Tab cycling no longer includes Slack window To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/1827302/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Slack is setting NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE = NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_MAIN. This value is not defined in the EWMH spec and has zero results on Google. A temporary work around is to run `xprop -f _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE 32a -set _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL` and then click on the Slack window. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1827302 Title: 18.10 → 19.04 Alt-Tab cycling no longer includes Slack window To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/1827302/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1827302] Re: 18.10 → 19.04 Alt-Tab cycling no longer includes Slack window
This bug started in Slack 3.4.0 and affects Xubuntu 18.04.2 LTS too.
The problem happens because xfwm4 looks for any of the following:
"_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DESKTOP",
"_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DIALOG",
"_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK",
"_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_MENU",
"_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL",
"_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_SPLASH",
"_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_TOOLBAR",
"_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_UTILITY",
But Slack doesn't set them.
I compiled xfwm4 from source, debugged remotely (it is nearly impossible
to halt the window manager in the host machine...) and the problem boils
down to:
1. clientCycleCreateList in cycle.c calls:
if (!clientSelectMask (c2, NULL, search_range, WINDOW_REGULAR_FOCUSABLE))
{
TRACE ("%s not in select mask", c2->name);
continue;
}
2. Inside clientSelectMask in focus.c, c2->type = 0; thus "return
c2->type & mask" returns 0 regardless of the mask and thinks the window
should not be alt-tabbed
3. I believe (not 100% sure) this happens because in clientWindowType in
netwm.c, c->type_atom == None. I don't know whether this should be
treated as a client bug or a window manager bug. I'm not an X11 expert
so I don't know if it is possible to know if a window is the root one,
but root windows should definitely be alt-tabbeable.
If I change the line to:
if (!clientSelectMask (c2, NULL, search_range,
WINDOW_REGULAR_FOCUSABLE) && c2->type != UNSET)
Then Slack works with alt+tab and my computer hasn't blown up yet. I
don't know if it's the proper fix though, but it may be
I fixed this problem by rebuilding xfwm4 with the attached patch:
mkdir tmp
cd tmp
sudo apt install devscripts build-essential fakeroot dpkg-dev
sudo apt-get build-dep xfwm4
apt-get source xfwm4
cd xfwm4-4.12.5
patch -i xfwm4_slack_fix.diff #Point it where the patch is located!!!
