Yabai: Focus stops following mouse after using mission control

[marcelja]

I set the focus to follow the mouse
yabai -m config focus_follows_mouse autofocus

When I open mission control, e.g. using yabai -m space 1 --toggle mission-control, and close it afterwards, the focus is not following the mouse anymore.

▶ yabai --version
yabai-v2.1.2

[marcelja]

doesn't happen anymore

Ok, I guess that I found a way to reproduce this.

• Have multiple screens
• Make a window native-fullscreen
• Open mission control
• Close mission control
• Try to change focus to another window using the mouse

I am having a similar issue.
When I use mission control switch desktop spaces with multiple monitors, yabai will swap focus to the other monitor 2 when i switch desktop spaces on monitor 1.

I'm unable to reproduce this. Need clearer steps to reproduce. Also, please create a new issue for that as these are not similar issues at all.

So the reason this is happening is that we disable mouse-tracking when mission-control is active.
There is no event triggered by macOS when mission-control is exited, but we poll to check whether the mission-control window exists. This check apparently does not work when a fullscreen app is in focus, causing the issue you've described here.

Fixed on master.
