</span>It is the wrong way to fix it.<br>
<br>
Not wl_pointer nor wl_keyboard foci are interchangeable with the<br>
concept of "active". It simply just happens that an active window will<br>
usually have the kbd focus if a kbd exists, because users expect that.<br>
>From a purely protocol-mechanical point of view there is no connection.<br>
Giving keyboard focus to an active window is compositor internal policy.<br>
<br>
The app must be fixed to honour the activate events if it uses<br>
xdg_shell. In xdg_shell, window activeness is notified via configure<br>
events' flags. The spec says:<br>
<entry name="activated" value="4"><br>
Client window decorations should be painted as if the window is<br>
active. Do not assume this means that the window actually has<br>
keyboard or pointer focus.<br>
</entry><br>
<br>
If it uses wl_shell, then you have to rely on kbd focus, because<br>
wl_shell doesn't have anything better. This means that in a<br>
keyboard-less system, wl_shell cannot even communicate activeness. Maybe<br>
that's the reason why someone might abuse pointer focus as window<br>
activation? But when he does that, the window will switch to an<br>
inactive look by just a pointer leave, while the user could still be<br>
typing into the window. That would be confusing.<br>
<br>
If this is some tablet use case, then you wouldn't have either<br>
wl_pointer not wl_keyboard, you'd only have wl_touch. And touch "focus"<br>
disappears the moment the last finger goes up. Note, that virtual<br>
keyboards do not communicate via wl_keyboard. So in a tablet case, the<br>
window activeness is completely separated from any foci.<br>
<br>
Pointer focus is good for highlighting the widget under the pointer<br>
kind of things, but neither pointer not keyboard foci are meant to<br>
signify activeness.<br>

<br>
</span>You can get them with WAYLAND_DEBUG=client env var, when running the<br>
client.<br>
<br>
Entering a NULL surface makes no sense to a client, it can only ignore<br>
it. It already received a leave, which means that wl_pointer is not on<br>
any of its own surfaces. Saying "the pointer is still not on any of<br>
your surfaces" is redundant.<br>
<br>
These NULL arguments should happen only in race conditions. For<br>
instance, the compositor assigned pointer focus to a surface, that the<br>
client has already destroyed but the compositor has not processed the<br>
destruction yet. If the compositor *has* processed the destruction,<br>
there is no reason to send enter for NULL.<br>

<br>
</span>Hmm, I'm not sure if that's clever or abuse... it's certainly<br>
unexpected and requires effort to see in the code, which calls a for a<br>
big comment to explain what is happening.<br>

</span>Alright.<br>
