I am using i3 4.8 with the layout file at the bottom of this e-mail.
When I append this, everything works ok (my windows layout as I expect them
too, and applications get swallowed correctly) except I hide my status bar (the
roughly 20 pixel high status bar that includes a set of buttons that allows me
to select workspaces to focus). The status bar still exists, but it seems to be
hidden by the appended layout. The other problem is that when I toggle a tiled
window to a floating window it also gets hidden rather than floating properly
(within this appended workspace).
Two other notes of interest, when I close all the windows in this appended
layout i3 seems to hang for a bit (as evidenced by the hourglass cursor) before
it finally returns to normal operation. Additionally despite the fact that
other workspaces are not directly accessible (since I can't get to the
workspace selector in the statusbar), I am able to send them a focus message
and they do focus properly. I am also able to send the appended workspace (the
one that has this "hiding problem") a focus message and have it come back into
focus.
How can I tweak this layout so that I don’t hide my statusbar and floating
windows?
