Some applications don't want to tile in Awesome?

thepanu · 2015-05-13 18:01:55

I am struggling with some windows in Awesome as for some reason I am not able to make them tile, it doesn't seem to matter if window is maximised or not and what are the other windows in certain tab.

So, is there a way to force tiling for all windows in a given tab?

What (class of) applications? Please paste your config...

Various. But worst offender is Okular, and while I ended up smashing buttons even terminal windows didn't want to tile afterwards in that tile. I have had the same issue with libreoffice as well as firefox as well but those seem to work most of the time.

Now that I think of it, I don't think I have been able to get Okular to tile even once (Other qt programs seem to work ok, like Dolphin or Kate)

To rule out the obvious, your layout for "web", "media", and "other" is set to floating. Are you sure this isn't the problem? Also, your keybinding for float-toggle is, modkey, control, space. What happens when you try to toggle float on the applications that you can't get to tile?

I haven't had any issues with the apps you mention. Your rules don't indicate anything that would cause this.
