Seeing ghost windows after wake.

I can restore some of them by finding the window in the taskbar and clicking on it. Others don't come back.

Output of komorebic check

No KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME detected, defaulting to C:\Users\Alex Gorbatchev

Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\Alex Gorbatchev

Found komorebi.json; this file can be passed to the start command with the --config flag

Found C:\Users\Alex Gorbatchev\.config\whkdrc; key bindings will be loaded from here when whkd is started, and you can start it automatically using the --whkd flag

After komorebic stop some windows come back, others remain black rectangles. The only solution I found to those is to close them via taskbar and reopen.

[LGUG2Z]

This looks like a rendering issue - are these all Electron apps by any chance?

Actually, I can't tell if these are new ghost tiles or if I'm looking at actual app windows that are being rendered as black rectangles.

In either case a komorebic visible-windows output when this happens would be useful!

[alexgorbatchev]

Most of the time it's actually Chrome, but tbh I haven't paid close attention. I have VSCode open at all times and I can say with near certainty that I don't recall this happening to a VSCode window.

I'll run the command next time I get the problem and report back.

Windows do receive clicks. In the case of Chrome i can close and restore tabs easily, but it's still mildly annoying.

This bug affects me multiple times every week.

[LGUG2Z]

Given that there are exactly two reports of this out of tens of thousands of users and no road to reproducibility (yet), I think if someone wants to continue investigating this the next point of call should be opening a bug report on the Chromium issue tracker.

[CtByte]

This bug affects me multiple times every week.

@mudnug I think I experienced this before and I used the komorebic retile command to get it fixed (using a keybind). Could you please try this next time this happens?

[mudnug]

@CtByte I tried the komorebic retile command several times to no avail.

I did pull the debug information for an offending window and replaced unnecessary text with [...]
