Google Chrome in a tiling WM (WMFS Specifically)
Lately I've noticed that whenever I bookmark something in Google Chrome (running in WMFS, but I noticed this behaviour on-and-off in AwesomeWM and XMonad back when I used them too), the bookmark dialog (what folder, custom name, confirmation, etc.) doesn't pop up (at least not in a way I can see). I checked this behaviour in Openbox only to find out that it works without issue. So I assume it must be related to how WMFS handles chrome.
Relevant lines of my .wmfsrc:
[rule] instance = "google-chrome" screen = 0 tag = "4" max = "false" free = "false" [/rule]Default behaviour of WMFS, besides those rules I specify. For the sake of being thorough, here's the entire wmfsrc.
A lot of googling brought me no solution. The way I understand this issue is that it seems google chrome opens the dialog (as it should), but WMFS leaves it behind the chrome window/hides it in some way. I'm not sure if this would fall under a "bug" or simply "bad configuration" on my part.
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Well, the issue is similar, but Google Chrome isn't opened in a max layout, nor is it set to be maximized by my rule, and all other floating windows work fine (save as, etc.). I'll have a look through the bug report though.
*EDIT* The more I look at the bug report, the more I doubt this is the actual issue. I think it has to do with the way that Google Chrome opens the bookmark confirmation dialog (it doesn't seem to be an extra window per-say, more like a tooltip).
