B & C swapped, with unwanted container added. How can I move window within a container *without* creating a new one? The actual use case was considering vertical layout, but I made it horizontal here to make it easier to draw/explain.Fri, 14 Feb 2014 14:02:32 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/3399/move-window-within-container/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/3399/move-window-within-container/?comment=5128#comment-5128Could this be an old bug that is fixed in newer versions?

Are you using the latest version of i3? The following parts of your config could be helpful, too: `workspace_layout`, `default_orientation`, anything with `move [left|right|up|down]` or `layout`.Mon, 17 Feb 2014 09:39:49 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/3399/move-window-within-container/?comment=3400#comment-3400
