new_window 1pixel ignored in config

I am running i3 4.6 from sur5r's ubuntu ppa. When I change my .i3/config and alter the new_window variable, the only values which are honored are 'normal' and 'pixel 2'. Any other value which does not cause an error simply does the same thing as 'pixel 2'.

I can do i3-msg border pixel 1, and get an actual 1 pixel border, or a 10 pixel border if I wish, but if I use the same value in the .i3/config, still only normal and two-pixel borders.

I don't know why i3 thinks the default container border width is set to -1, but it does. I have, however, found a work-around, in case this will help anyone else. I put this in my .i3/config

for_window [class="\w*"] border pixel 1

It also works with values like pixel 3 or pixel 9.

Hi this works, but it will overwrite "new_float normal". How to set tiling window for 1 pixel, and floating window with window title bar? Thanks.
