Sometimes lately, i3 hangs. I can't change window focus, either by the shortcuts nor mouse. No keyboard shortcut works so I can't restart or reload i3. I can still use the window where there was focus and if it gets closed ,I can used the one that gets focused next. If I happen to be in a terminal, running i3-msg restart or i3-msg reload just doesn't return, and sits idle while nothing happens.

I think it's correlated with an application (Newshosting browser) but I can't consistently reproduce it and it's quite annoying to try because I don't know how to fix it once it happens other than rebooting or restarting the gdm service from another terminal.

Has anyone seen this happen, and does anyone have a suggestion as to how to avoid it, fix it, or make i3 wake up in these situations?

This happened to me sometimes with Steam windows. Sometimes, after closing a window, i3 hangs, but in my case I can still select another workspace with the mouse.
