[solved] Awesome WM, new clients are not focused

Hello,
I've updated awesome WM (from the git aur version), now the new clients don't have focus when started.
I have to mouse-enter the client to get focus.

I've merged my configuration file from the one on github (https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/bl … erc.lua.in) but still no focus on new clients..

Am I the only one ?

I hope he gets a fix soon as well
Just a quick note about your config. You do know that when you build the git version the new rc.lua will be located in /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua.
You can do a diff between that one and your previous one to see what changed. Just make sure you update your rc.lua before you restart.
awmtt from AUR can be a big help there.

I didn't know for that file, I was looking for awesomerc.lua.in without success !
Thanks for the tip

I was already using awmtt.

For the bug, I'm now following this PR https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/87
