[BUG] When i3bar set to "mode hide", it will be displayed over lockscreen on modifier key press

[ljrk0]

Reproduce:
Set i3bar to

mode hide
hidden_state hide
modifier $mod

On i3lock i3bar will be drawn on top of i3lock.

Can you be more specific? What does i3lock --version print for you? How do you invoke i3lock, and with what arguments?

Whenever its window gets obscured, i3lock raises itself into the foreground. On my machine, this works so fast, that I don’t even see i3bar showing up at all. If I add a sleep statement, I see a small flicker — is that what you mean?

Just figured out the issue: I use compton to set transparency on the statusbar. I don't know why this influences the visibility of the i3bar over i3lock, though.

Thanks for clarifying. We don’t support compton or any other compositing, so you’re on your own with this issue, sorry.
