1726958 - [swaywm] Unfocused window titles are not updated

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect)

Description

[lewisbolaton]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:90.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/90.0

Steps to reproduce:

This is in Fedora Workstation 33 with sway v1.5 but still persists with Fedora Workstation 34 with sway v1.6

• Switch to tabbed mode or stacking mode in Sway
• Open a new Firefox window and watch a Youtube video with autoplay enabled
• Create and switch to a new window (this will make the previous window unfocused)
• Wait for the video in the first window to finish

Actual results:

The next video plays fine but the window title does not get updated unless I return the focus to the window playing the YouTube video.

This doesn't happen the same windows are in stacked mode with their title bars visible. In stacked mode, even if the window playing the video is unfocused, the window title gets updated as the next video plays.

This also happens with some websites if I switch to another window fast enough. For example, if there are two windows and I open Twitter in the first window and switch to the second fast enough, the window title for the first will not be updated to Twitter.

Expected results:

Window title changes should occur even if the window is unfocused.

Apologies for the typographical error. I meant:

"This doesn't happen when the same windows are in tiled mode with their title bars visible. In tiled mode..."
