This is a strange bug that started manifesting recently, I don't know if it's a yabai issue, a Chrome issue, both, or neither. Steps to (hopefully) reproduce:
- Take a page in Chrome (I've tested with Google Calendar + GitHub, but it seems page-independent)
- Go to Chrome three dot menu > Cast, Save, and Share > Install
<app name>
- The Chrome app opens in a new window
- Focus to it with yabai (i.e. using a keyboard shortcut)
The window will reliably, 100% of the time, close. If I click the window to focus it with my mouse, it's fine. If I use Yabai to focus away from the Chrome app, or to move windows around, etc, it's fine, normal behavior. But focusing from an adjacent app to a Chrome app window will cause it to close. I accidentally do this a dozen times a day (open Google Calendar Chrome app, try to focus it with keyboard shortcuts, it closes)
This doesn't happen with other windows (i.e. non-Chrome macOS apps like terminals, editors, etc, etc), I can give them focus with the keyboard just fine. But it didn't used to be an issue with Chrome apps either until recently (maybe the last time I updated yabai?)
Also, a point of clarification in case it isn't clear, I'm using "Chrome app" to mean "website 'installed' via Chrome to act like a native application", so it shows up in Spotlight, and renders without a URL bar or normal browser window chrome.
I'm running yabai-v7.1.25, the latest, on macOS Tahoe, Version 26.5.1 (25F80)
