Mouse not changing focus to application or workspace after system update [closed]

Hello,

Yesterday I did an update on my Arch Linux and this broke i3. Now, whenever I move the mouse over to a different application or even to another workspace, the focus doesn't change. However, if I reload i3 (mod+Shift+r), it goes back to normal for a few seconds, and then stops working. Changing focus with the keyboard works as expected. Below is Pacman's log.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

This seems to be a bug and therefore does not belong here. I'd suggest to downgrade i3-wm to 4.7-1 and see if problem persists. You may notify the package maintainer for Arch and/or [post a bug report](http://newticket.i3wm.org/). The [i3 log](http://i3wm.org/docs/debugging.html) may help with that.

Kernel upgrade, funny behavior: You did restart your machine after the update, right?

Yes, I restarted the machine. I was with an external monitor when I noticed this behavior, now on a single monitor this isn't happening anymore. I'll try with an external monitor tomorrow and see how it goes.
