It's pretty hard to find a solution that checks all of the boxes. I want
something that:
- Closes instantly when you close the editor, and in REAPER you should
be able to instantly switch between docked and floating modes
- Where there should not be a delay in user interaction when quickly
reopening the editor (or doing that switching thing in REAPER since that's
the same thing)
- Where the window manager should not try to reparent the window during
the losing process as that can cause some jarring flickering
- And, of course, there should be no weird Wine X11Drv crashes
And it should do all of that in Bitwig, REAPER, Carla, Ardour and
Renoise. Apparently it's quite the task to find an approach that checks
all the boxes there.
On Bitwig grabbing input focus this way would trigger many more FocusIn
events, which in certain situations could cause the interface to hang
while everything was being processed.
This also changes the refresh rate for most plugins. You can now lower
this setting if your computer is struggling to keep up with rendering a
certain heavy plugin.
Although it hasn't shown up, this will get rid of the possibility of
off-thread effEditIdle calls causing issues. And since we need some way
to run call this function while the event loop is running anyways, doing
it entirely from a timer similar to how hosts on Windows would do it
seems like the best solution.
Before deferring closing the editor. This still gets rid of that issue
in Wine's X11drv that would result in a double destroy, and it also gets
rid of a delay that would still occur in Carla.
With the new deferred closing behaviour, closing the editor of Vital's
VST2 version would trigger an X11 error in Wine's X11drv. This doesn't
seem to happen with other plugins (or the VST3 version of Vital) and the
fact that this workaround even works is strange to say the least, but at
least it does work.
While this does get rid of artifacts, it can also add a brief moment
where the gray background becomes visible when the window reconfigures
which can look jarring.
This reverts commit 35c7138333.
I've also tried a lot of other things, but none of the solutions I've
tried work 100% of the time. It sounds like a better idea to have
something that doesn't work consistently than to have something that
inconsistently sort of works. Setting the size in `WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING`
to (0, 0) fixes the drifting, but the mouse coordinates are still wrong
and `SetWindowPos()` breaks the reparenting.
This reverts commit db2cc5800a.
I think some rounding in Wine is causing this issue, but then again
we're not supposed to send these ConfigureNotify events to the window
directly anyways.
There were already similar warnings on 32-bit winegcc, but now it also
happens on the 64-bit version. Instead of adding
`-Wno-ignored-attributes` we'll just sprinkle some warning ignores here
and there to prevent any other surprises.
I'm still really curious why this double reparent would be needed
though. Everything works fine on any other i3 config I've tried, and
even the exact same config in a VM works fine for me.
I'm not sure how many people use WMs that don't implement
`_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW`, but at least this will give those people some way
to grab input focus, even if it's not as good as the new method.
These things should not fail (and I've never seen one of these thing
error out with yabridge), but in the case they do an assertion is at
least a lot trace down than a segfault.
This fixes keyboard focus not returning when closing dialogs in Melda
plugins. I'll have to do some more testing to see if this does not
introduce any unwanted side effects.
This works around Waves plugins causing an infinite message loop. Since
we run the loop 30 times per second anyways splitting the loop up into
chunks of 20 shouldn't be an issue.
This sounds like it would the simplest way to work around the issue of
E27 calculating its own coordinates based on the parent window's
coordinates. I have not noticed any weird issues with having this
enabled all the time, but less moving parts is always better so it's
still behind an option.
