Description

When bar_precedence_over_border = true in Hyprbars and a border is set, quite often the border starts to flicker like it's trying to find focus. It is usually present in two windows, with the active window and most recent inactive window flickering between the active and inactive border color at the top.

How to reproduce

Enable Hyprbars plugin, set 'bar_precedence_over_border = true', and have a border for the windows set in hyprland.conf

Crash reports, logs, images, videos

This video shows Firefox as the active window, and Thunar as the most recent inactive window. The flickering is present in these two windows

wrong repo

[Candyhands]

wrong repo

Crap, I could have sworn I put it in the plugin repo. My bad.

[n1yn]

I have this exact same issue too. Does anyone have a hint about what the cause is? I'd try to fix it then but don't want to invest too much time as I have a lot to do besides coding

[vaxerski]

dunno, probably some geometry is wrong somewhere, flickering is damage, focus is ... focus
