I'll get to it if I have time, but this isn't exactly that important in the grand scheme of things. I encourage you to dig into the code and see if you can find out the issue yourself if you want it done faster.

i just want to know, this issue only with me or anybody having the same issue? if not i will reinstall sway to get back to it. @SirCmpwn

[sk0x1234]

i did a fresh reinstall whole machine with Arch+official sway 0.13 packacge, when i set my URxvt to foating enabled by default, it still spwans at the top left corner . @SirCmpwn

So look into it.

[sk0x1234]

do you want me to close the issue?? @SirCmpwn

[ddevault]

No, I want you to debug it and send a patch.

[bearcatsandor]

If they don't know C, they can't submit a patch. Should they not have reported the bug?

[ddevault]

C isn't difficult. Anyone can learn it.

I think you can try to replace this:

#:::::::::disable_window_borders::::::::                                                                  
 for_window [class="^.*"] border pixel 0                                                                   
 new_window pixel 1                                                                                        
 new_float  normal   

in your config with default_border pixel 1 and report here if it helped

@kaberc nope its not working ..

[sk0x1234]

would you consider #1229 for this 0.15 release??

spawning in the floating mode is seems buggy ! (Not exactly buggy , but not spawing at the correct postion, that make images ,videos goes out of the screen,manually have to bring them back in to the screen).

"feh, mpv , Urxvt " all seems to be not working as expected in Floating mode.

[ddevault]

I would if you sent me a patch.

[sk0x1234]

i wish i could send you a patch, unfortunately i cant make one.

[ddevault]

I bet you could!

This conversation was glorious.
Anyhow, firefox-nightly (60) also spaws its default browser dialogue in the top left corner.

[ddevault]

I'm closing issues that are resolved by the yet-unreleased sway 1.0.
