Qtile + VSCode bug? New terminal opens in wrong window

[pawamoy]

Really random guess here, but I've always had this issue in VSCode and only just now reported it. It happens often and is very reproducible, so if it's still not fixed it's probably because very few users experience it, and so I guess it might because of something Qtile does with windows id/titles.

For reference: microsoft/vscode#206548

Anyone else experiences this issue?

I can recreate this behaviour.

I assume you're using the Max layout. By default, all windows other than the visible window are hidden (unmapped). However, if you disable this behaviour by setting only_focused=False, the terminal opens in the correct window.

I'm not sure why vscode decides to open the terminal in a hidden window though...

Ah, super interesting, thanks! I'll set only_focused=False in the meantime, thanks a lot.
