Oh good point! The ids should be unsigned; I was just following the docs from i3ipc-glib where it is signed.

Could you try with the branch issue6 whether it works?

Same result, different ipc error message: https://gist.github.com/bendem/3a97e6991744d75ea21cdc176b44e290#file-gistfile2-txt

The con_id seems to be already overflowing when it is handled by i3ipc-glib as a gint, which is 4 bytes on my system. In i3, the con_id is actually the address of the corresponding con struct and is handled as a long when being printed or read - with a size of 8 bytes here.

This happens when I move a nested window out of its container, I cannot focus it anymore.

• create window A
• create window B
• create window C nested under B
• move C out of B
• no longer able to focus C

@Radivarig Which version of i3ipc-glib are you using? This issue was fixed in i3ipc-glib with this commit altdesktop/i3ipc-glib@a7a29cf. Sadly, the last released version 0.6.0 does not include this fix :/

For a more detailed log of your problem, you can do:

make clean debug
./i3-easyfocus

It should give a more detailed output about what happens.

@cornerman ah.. you are correct. My version is 0.6.0. Thanks
