Wayland focus doesn't seem to trigger xwayland focus

[ToxicMushroom]

When using focus-follows-mouse or switching window focus with keybinds, xwayland apps don't seem notice that they're focused.
Indicated by:

• Can't type in new window popups that get focus
• Can't type in windows after moving mouse back over the window to grab focus
• Games stay running in low background fps when focused, sound is muted because it thinks its in the background
• Clicking once on the xwayland window fixes it

Using Niri and xwayland-satellite

Can you give specific examples? I exclusively use focus-follows-mouse and have not seen focus issues. Did you try with the latest commit?

Hmm it might be for child processes that spawn windows like:

• intellij-idea popup boxes
• ffxiv launched by xivlauncher-core
  I'll see if I can get more examples

Could you provide some logs as well? Run satellite with RUST_LOG=debug set.

1. This is opening the search popup of intellij
2. It automatically gets focus from niri
3. I move my mouse into the popup
4. I click to the popup be able to type (doesn't seem to log anything)
