[BUG] Invisible lock when mpv maximised

[ironhak]

When mpv (or any player based on mpv) is in fullscreen and you lock the screen, then the screen is locked but it's "invisible". Meaning that you still see mpv but the screen is locked and you have to type the password to unlock.
The lockscreen window appears below the fullscreen mpv window.

Hi @ironhak, I don't see this issue on my system. Could you send the arguments you use with i3lock.

[ironhak]

i3lock -i ~/.config/nitrogen/image -L -f -k \
  --color=#000000 \
  --time-font="$FONT" --date-font="$FONT" \
  --time-size=70 --date-size=40 \
  --time-color=#BCC5DA --date-color=#BCC5DA --layout-color=#BCC5DA \
  --timeoutline-color=#474D5A --timeoutline-width=0.5 \
  --dateoutline-color=#474D5A --dateoutline-width=0.5 \
  --noinput-text="No input given" \
  --verif-text="Verifying…" \
  --wrong-text="Wrong password" \
  --verif-font="$FONT" --greeter-font="$FONT" --wrong-font="$FONT" \
  --verif-size=70 --greeter-size=70 --wrong-size=70 \
  --verif-color=#BCC5DA --modif-color=#BCC5DA --wrong-color=#BCC5DA \
  --verifoutline-color=#474D5A --verifoutline-width=0.4 \
  --modifoutline-color=#474D5A --modifieroutline-width=0.4 \
  --wrongoutline-color=#474D5A --wrongoutline-width=0.4 \

  --date-pos="ix:iy" \

  --bar-indicator \
  --bar-step 100 \
  --bar-max-height 5 \
  --bar-base-width 0 \
  --bar-count 1 \
  --bar-color=#FFFFFF00 \
  --keyhl-color=#474D5A \
  --insidever-color=#FFFFFF00 \
  --ringver-color=#FFFFFF00 \
  --insidewrong-color=#FFFFFF00 \
  --ringwrong-color=#FFFFFF00 \
  --composite

This is what I use

[ironhak]

I removed the --composite flag and now it's working... Strange

[ironhak]

Now I remember: I used composite because otherwise then i3bar is visible on top of the lockscreen. So I think this is a bug with i3lock

Edit: Running this before the i3lock command solves it:

# exit fullscreen from mpv before lock screen
/usr/bin/xdotool key \
	--clearmodifiers \
	--window "$(/usr/bin/xdotool search --onlyvisible --class mpv)" Escape
