Missing clicks

[diesphink]

Distro/DE: regolith (ubuntu based)/i3

i3bar is losing some clicks (one miss in every 3 or 4 clicks, sometimes more), and I can't find the reason.

Tried compiling i3blocks from source (regolith uses the i3xrocks fork, which has the same issue) but problem remained, I've used this minimum configuration to reproduce:

[click]
full_text=Click me!
command=echo "$(date +%s) Got clicked with button $BLOCK_BUTTON" >> /tmp/log2

That's everything on cfg file, I'm running it like this, from i3:
status_command /path/to/cloned/i3blocks -c $i3xrocks_config -vvv 2>/tmp/i3blocks.err

This is the i3blocks version:

And this is the i3bar version:
i3bar version 4.16.1 (2019-01-27) © 2010 Axel Wagner and contributors

And when I download i3blocks from ubuntu repo (i3blocks 1.4 © 2014 Vivien Didelot and contributors) I got the clicking right, but it's not the best solution as I'm using the new features from 1.5.

This is the log from 4 clicks, the 3rd and 4th lost. The spaces were added for clarity, after each click.

Those clicks have about one second of interval, I'm not maniacally clicking in order to reproduce this problem.

Can confirm this. On Fedora 31, started since 1.5 release.

This:

<5>read(0, 1): Resource temporarily unavailable
<7>line.c:line_parse:65: &0:000:
<5>read(0, 1): Resource temporarily unavailable

appears in response to missing clicks on [time] blocklet which should send cal output to notify-send and refresh bar text. dunst prints a notification counter so it's easy to track missed clicks. the script itself.

I could not reproduce the issue with only [time] blocklet enabled.

p.s. These two logs from here also raise a question about what this '[foo]' blocklet is, it's not contained in my config and is not indicated as read from configuration file in i3blocks log.

[captn3m0]

I have the same issue. This shows up in my error log, while I don't have anything called foo in my config.

<7>i3bar.c:i3bar_print_block:160: [foo] no text to display, skipping

[zsugabubus]

Could somebody test whether it works (or not) with #404?

[diesphink]

Yes, it does work, thank you.

I even did a stress test: xdotool click --delay 5 --repeat 400 1, without any issue.

[diesphink]

Oops, worth mentioning: just cloned the repo and haven't tried with #404. Seems like it was an issue with environment? Now I'm coming from a new OS install on new machine (still ubuntu-based though).

This is the i3bar version on the new install:

[vivien]

I tested the click block above and I don't miss any click, I can't reproduce the click issue for now.

[vivien]

I leave this issue open for the [foo] block to be removed.

[vivien]

The empty 'foo' block isn't created anymore. I'm closing this issue since I can't reproduce the click issue. Feel free to reopen if I'm missing something.
