i3blocks will not accept input from stdout after too long of inactivity

[Noodlez1232]

If there's too much time between outputs to stdout for the block, i3blocks will no longer output stdout

There's an easy way to replicate this using xtitle

1. Create a block with the following configuration:

[wintitle]
interval=persist
command="xtitle -s"

2. After this, just let your computer sit, making sure the window will not change names
3. The block will no longer update

Sorry about the title edit. I was just using vim before opening this issue and tried saving the title. Whoops!

Cannot be that it only occurs with xtitle -s? Have you tested others? (Maybe a simple echo && sleep && echo?)

Just because if you search the issue tracker you will see a few reports about xtitle does not work as expected.

Yeah I'm gonna try that overnight. It's very late here so I'm going to bed now, but I'll run multiple tests like this.
The tests I'll be running:

[test]
command=xtitle -s
interval=persist

[test]
command=while true; do echo "Hello" && sleep 512 && echo "Hello2" && sleep 512; done
interval=persist

[test]
command=while true; do echo "Hello" && sleep 2048 && echo "Hello2" && sleep 2048; done
interval=persist
