Details

wofi 1.2.2 doesn't work with wlroots 0.12.0 due to a change in the wlr-layer-shell protocol (https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/commit/8dec751a6d84335fb04288b8efab6dd5c90288d3): no window is opened at all (unless "wofi --normal-window" is used).

The issue has been fixed upstream by commit https://hg.sr.ht/~scoopta/wofi/rev/ea517e724b07716986fd2c6a6e321e1b5cb08682 but no new release has been cut since then. I therefore suggest backporting this fix to the current stable version.

Link to upstream bug report: https://todo.sr.ht/~scoopta/wofi/137

Steps to reproduce:
- Try starting WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 wofi
- No window is opened, instead the following error message appears on stdout:
wl_display@1.error(zwlr_layer_surface_v1@33, 1, "width 0 requested without setting left and right anchors")
This task depends upon

A diff for the PKGBUILD to backport the patch is attached to this comment. I verified that the updated package works with wlroots 0.12.0 on my system.

Thanks Jonas, although I couldn't reproduce it even before, I trust your testing - I pushed wofi-1.2.2-2 now that contains the patch.
