`open-fullscreen false` ignored

Config

relevant part of it

window-rule {
	match id="gsr-ui"
	draw-border-with-background false
	// opacity 0.5 just to test that the ID is working
	open-fullscreen false
	open-floating true
}

GPU Screen Recorder UI ignores the window rule I set to prevent it from opening fullscreen but it is ignored. after checking WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 it seems to spawn then open in fullscreen after. Niri does not have any sort of suppressevent like Hyprland, so my only solution is to run a script to unfullscreen as soon as its spawned. Unfortunately, I don't know any way to implement that.

FYI the window runs in X11, could be a contributing factor

Try: open-maximized false.

[ypurpl]

Try: open-maximized false.

This changes its column width, irrelevant because its in fullscreen not tiled

[Sempyos]

Oh wait, I mean this one: open-maximized-to-edges true.

gsr-ui is supposed to be an overlay, not its own window, so it must be in floating.

[Sempyos]

When you open it can you run niri msg windows and paste the output for gsr here.

Like I mentioned before, the window opens normally then goes fullscreen afterwards, which cannot be fixed currently by niri. Related to #2120. Can't be fixed until something like Hyprland's suppressevent gets implemented in niri. I'll make it a feature request in a separate issue
