Screen Sharing issues on Linux with i3-WM in Version: 41.12.0.20899

[Vahab]

Dear Webex community,

I am facing some issues during screen sharing on Linux with i3 tiling window manager. The Problem is that the orange toolbar is not being showed in front and unfortunately I can not stop screen sharing. In Version 41.11.0.20608 is the toolbar showing normally. Downgrading will possibly solve the problem! In attached pictures the problem can be seen clearly.

Is there any other solution? Or do I have to wait for new update of Webex? 

Best regard,

Vahab.

Dear Webex community, 

I found a solution for that. Just add following line in to your i3 config file. 

for_window [title="Form"] floating disable

`for_window [title="Form"] floating disable` doesn't work for me. As far as I know the window is being hidden off screen or something.

$ xwininfo -root -children | grep Form
     0x3c001df "Form": ()  440x40+0+-40  +0+-40
     0x3c001f1 "Form": ()  296x51+0+0  +0+0

And forcefully moving the window shows it on my screen but as soon as I click it then it disappears.

$ xdotool search --onlyvisible --name Form windowmove 500 500
$ xwininfo -root -children | grep Form
0x3c001df "Form": () 440x40+500+500 +500+500
0x3c001f1 "Form": () 296x51+0+0 +0+0

*Click the window*

$ xwininfo -root -children | grep Form
     0x3c001df "Form": ()  40x126+0+-126  +0+-126
     0x3c001f1 "Form": ()  296x51+0+0  +0+0

The solution had worked just for version 41.11.0.20608 of webex. For the current version 42.3.0.21576, I change the old solution as follows:

for_window [title="Webex*"] floating disable

Thanks! Seems to make the popup show now! I'm surprised that works as the popup didn't have the title Webex in it judging by `xprop` and `xwininfo`.
