xdotool doesn't show the correct titles of firefox windows any longer
Hi *, starting with openSUSE Tumbleweed 20221113 xdotool doesn't show the correct titles of firefox any longer, instead returns "Firefox" or an empty string. This worked as expected until I installed this snapshot yesterday. xdotool search --classname firefox 45088769 45088831 45088954 $ xdotool getwindowname 45088769 Firefox $ xdotool getwindowname 45088831 $ xdotool getwindowname 45088954 Firefox Worked until recent update: /usr/bin/xdotool search --sync --name '(VDR Portal)' where "VDR Portal" is the title of a Firefox window. It returned "VDR Portal - Mozilla Firefox". The list returned by for w in $( xdotool search -class firefox ); do xdotool getwindowname $w; done shows all of the windows, that search didn't find: Firefox VDR Portal — Mozilla Firefox ... So it seems, that only xdotool search doesn't work any longer. Any idea, what might have changed here during this update? Neither xdotool nor Firefox have been updated with it. TIA. Bye. Michael.
