I have noticed that yabai -m query --windows --space X returns windows that are not on space X.

For example:

$ yabai -m query --windows | jq -r '.[] | "\(.space) \(.id) \(.app)"'
7 9751 Microsoft Teams (work or school)
7 9752 Microsoft Teams (work or school)
2 9906 Alacritty
8 379 Firefox
2 9659 Microsoft Teams (work or school)
2 563 Microsoft Outlook
5 8736 Microsoft Teams (work or school)
3 7215 Google Chrome
5 9694 Microsoft Excel
5 1042 Alacritty

Note that there are no windows on space 4. However, restricting the query to space 4 does return some windows -- from space 7:

$ yabai -m query --windows --space 4 | jq -r '.[] | "\(.space) \(.id) \(.app)"'
7 9751 Microsoft Teams (work or school)
7 9752 Microsoft Teams (work or school)

Additional information:

  • I've noticed this is the case only for Microsoft apps: Teams and Outlook. For Outlook, it is the calendar reminders that are included.

  • Below I've added the full output without jq filtering.

  • The titles of the 2 windows do contain "sharing" in their names ("Sharing control bar" and "Sharing indicator"), so it may be by design. Still, I expect (and prefer) to not see them in the data returned by the query which has the --space 4 added.

yabai -m query --windows

My current workaround is to filter the output again, like so:

yabai -m query --windows --space 4 | jq -r ".[] | select (.space == 4)"

If they show up, then according to macOS they do in fact belong on space 4. Every entry is the result of that window being returned from macOS for that space id: CFArrayRef window_list_ref = SLSCopyWindowsWithOptionsAndTags(g_connection, cid, space_list_ref, options, &set_tags, &clear_tags);

This is likely because these specfic teams windows do something weird with collection behavior and other stylemask settings. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nswindow/1419471-collectionbehavior

Both offending windows have "subrole":"AXSystemDialog", and irregular levels "level":2147483631, "level":24,

These windows should probably show as is-sticky: true on the latest master.

Thanks for that fast reply. I understand it's a Mac-peculiarity, and will just keep using my workaround (or filter on non-sticky windows when that feature reaches production).
