Creating a new stack doesn't update the ID of the visible window

[diocletiann]

When a new stack is created, the new visible topmost window ID doesn't seem to get updated. So when the stack is focused the first time, the hidden window surfaces and you have to re-focus the correct window. You can reproduce by creating a new stack then querying in its direction, screenshots below. Thanks!

Found a workaround, if you send a stack.prev and stack.next after creating a new stack it refreshes the IDs. Next time you focus the stack the windows don't flip.

@koekeishiya wanted to put this on your radar in case it's a simple fix. Thanks!

This ordering issue happens when adding a non-focused window to a stack, correct? So the window that yabai says is top of the stack, is not actually the topmost window on screen?

I'm stacking like this: yabai -m window west --stack 'focused window id' while the window is focused. But if you then query the ID of the window you just stacked from a third window, it's not the same.

Then when you try to focus this stack for the first time, it will cycle the topmost window and surface the one below. I can issue window --focus stack.next && window --focus stack.prev right after the stack command which seems to fix the IDs.

Should be fixed on master.

Confirmed. Thank you!
