window_topmost makes the floating windows appear over their menus

[przemub]

Hi, and thank you for a maji yabai window manager!

Version: fe86f24
macOS 12.1, M1 Pro processor

I am using SoundSource for sound device management.

Unfortunately, with yabai on, this happens:

Screen.Recording.2022-01-25.at.12.31.53.mov

Instead of this:

Screen.Recording.2022-01-25.at.12.33.06.mov

I cannot exclude this window (or I don't know how, at least) with yabai -m rule since the window appears in neither yabai -m query --windows | jq 'map(.pid)' nor yabai -m query --windows | jq 'map(.window).

Please let me know what debug info I could provide.

Thanks!

have you tried running the query command using watch -n1 then triggering the popup? it should show in the list while it is visible.

Thanks - yes I did. In fact, the other menus from the top bar (like Wi-Fi, Battery, etc.) do not trigger any change as well.

System menus won't, but in general third party menus seem to. I don't have SoundSource handy to test with unfortunately (it may be using a new API or something), but can confirm things like iStat Menus create a window. No immediate ideas sorry.

Ah, you're right, iStat Menus creates it on my computer as well. I even created a rule for that :)

I run SoundSource, too, and don't have that issue. All you're doing is disabling Yabai to make the SoundSource child picker work normally?

Hi all, it struck me to disable window_topmost in my config, and that helped with this issue. While it's a shame, since I like that setting, yabai is back to being usable for me :)

Would love for there to be a solution to this, it's quite a significant issue!

I have this issue with Firefox when window_topmost is on. Looks like it happens with nested context menus.
