Describe the bug
After the v0.1.14 version, sometimes the program freezes during use. Maybe this can't be called freeze, after all the program is not stuck, but the click and keyboard input are unresponsive, until after a while.

This phenomenon often occurs on vscode on my computer. I don't know if it is the cause of komorebi, but when it freezes, vscode will recover immediately after closing komorebi.

To Reproduce
Sorry, I don't know how to reproduce because I don't know the reason for this phenomenon.

Thanks for the report! If you can try to capture a video of this happening it might help. 🙏

Unfortunately, because I don't know when this phenomenon will happen, it may be difficult to record it.
But I will give it a try.

Okay, after a bit of trying, I finally recorded it.

+1 I've had same issues on 0.1.14, but with a web browser (Vivaldi), and Windows Terminal. Interestingly, the only inputs the "frozen" windows responded to in my case were touchpad scrolling (scrolling with mousewheel didn't work).

Rolling back to 0.1.13 eliminated the problem.

It's been a while and I'm unfortunately still unable to reproduce this. 😞

For anyone who is able to reproduce this behaviour, if you can run various builds from the commits between the latest release and the last release to help narrow down the exact commit that introduced this bug, that would be a big help. 🤞

Going to chime in and say that I have also seen a return of this problem as well. VSCode does seem to be the most common problem window for me but I have seen it happen with Firefox, Explorer and a few others.

I think 5a0ba4cdbb was what ended up fixing it last time but not quite sure when it showed up again. I will say that it is definitely less frequent and much harder for me to reproduce unlike last time but my experience lines up with what was discussed on discord back in August and what is shown here.

The window will become unresponsive to input but if I move another window or kill komorebi it will cause the "frozen" window to "catch up" to previous inputs. I'll try to grab a new video as well but it really is a lot harder to reproduce this time lol.

This sounds super frustrating, especially since it's so hard to reliably reproduce. The next time any of you see it, can you share the logs from the period where it was not possible to interact with the application?

I had exactly this behavior before. I found that what was causing this was another program. So I defined a float rule on that program and the problem was solved.

I didn't report it cause it's really hard to understand why this is happening, but I think this tip is valid, the freeze seems to occur due to another window, not the same program that freeze. At least in my case.

my suggestion to you would be to check what else is on your screen during the freeze, including the taskbar and everything (even hidden ones), to identify which program is causing it.

To add to what ShyPixie has said, and based on the comment from Vernetzt, if this is being caused by another application, it will most likely be a processes that is being managed by komorebi.

There has been a fair bit of work on the repo since 0.1.14; if anyone experiencing this would like to try out the latest build from the master branch, it's possible that it may have disappeared just as magically as it reappeared in 0.1.14. 😅

The freezing often occurs when I minimize/reopen windows. They could also be stuck minimized. Can confirm I had no such issue switching to 0.1.13 for which the minimize command hadn't been implemented.
