Prevent Waybar from hiding.

[AgostinoA]

Describe the bug
I've been going crazy for days and can't figure out how this issue started. I updated both Wayfire to the latest version and Waybar, and from that moment on, this problem appeared: when I open a fullscreen app, especially with Wine, Waybar leaves an empty space in the bar area and doesn't go fully fullscreen.

I'm not sure if it's an IPC request timing issue or something else. However, if I toggle fullscreen on and off from within the game, it works correctly.

Additionally, in some games like Crysis 2, all mouse position events become misaligned, making the cursor behave erratically.

To Reproduce

1. Open a game in fullscreen.

Expected behavior
I expect that any app running in fullscreen should cover the entire screen and that mouse input should remain accurate.

It might be 7889960 causing the problem. Does the commit before this one work ok?

[AgostinoA]

Yes, it did that before that change too.

I found a report from another user experiencing the same issue on Waybar:
[Waybar Issue #3387](Alexays/Waybar#3387).
Now, I'm not sure if the issue is caused by Wayfire or Waybar. 😅

Maybe check if wf-panel does the same thing.

"Waybar leaves an empty space in the bar area and doesn't go fully fullscreen."
You want waybar to go full screen?

[AgostinoA]

I want the empty space not to remain

Maybe check if wf-panel does the same thing.

Same problem, even with wf-panel. I created a simple fullscreen screen using GLFW.
Check if it happens to you as well, because I can't figure out if it's only on my configurations or something else.

I'm also uploading the code for a test.

#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>

int main() {
    if (!glfwInit()) return -1;

    GLFWmonitor* primaryMonitor = glfwGetPrimaryMonitor();
    const GLFWvidmode* mode = glfwGetVideoMode(primaryMonitor);

    glfwWindowHint(GLFW_RED_BITS, mode->redBits);
    glfwWindowHint(GLFW_GREEN_BITS, mode->greenBits);
    glfwWindowHint(GLFW_BLUE_BITS, mode->blueBits);
    glfwWindowHint(GLFW_REFRESH_RATE, mode->refreshRate);

    GLFWwindow* window = glfwCreateWindow(mode->width, mode->height, "Fullscreen Red", primaryMonitor, nullptr);
    if (!window) {
        glfwTerminate();
        return -1;
    }

    glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);

    while (!glfwWindowShouldClose(window)) {
        glClearColor(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
        glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
        
        glfwSwapBuffers(window);
        glfwPollEvents();
    }

    glfwDestroyWindow(window);
    glfwTerminate();
    return 0;
}

@ammen99 Can you support me with this? Sorry for the trouble.

[AgostinoA]

@CarloWood and @soreau, but do you have this problem?

[ammen99]

@AgostinoA thanks for your glfw example, I can reproduce the issue. Will look into it and let you know when a bug fix is available.

[AgostinoA]

@ammen99 It's a real pleasure for me. I'm here to find as many bugs as possible and give support to the project.
