Re: [i3] i3 4.8 layout file hides my status bar and floating windows
You’re saying you’re running v4.8. I think the problem you are seeing
is fixed with commit 679a5de8cfb9211afb1a1dd882e53bd672084754, so
please upgrade to the “next” git branch and retry. Check the output
“i3 --moreversion”, it should display “Running i3 version:
4.8-115-g0125530 (2014-11-06, branch next)”

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?

[i3] i3 4.8 layout file hides my status bar and floating windows
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
