Kivy app windows not obeying the `float_rules` in `floating_layout`

The issue:

qtile --version = 0.21.0

No relevant logs for this problem.

from config.py Match(title='My'), # Kivy app

The title is rendered in the kivy files from main.py, for example. I checked the output of xprop.

I know that the floating rules work for most other programs, further, I don’t know if this is a problem with the kivy app itself.

Whenever I launch a kivy app with python main.py, for example, the window it tiled instead. However, the float-on-click does make it float. Lastly, whenever I refresh qtile it does “auto float” the app window provided that it is present, of course.

• I have searched past issues to see if this bug has already been reported.

This sounds like the window is being mapped (and tested against the float rules), and then it is setting the window title. I’m not familiar with Kivy but it might be possible to set the title first, then open the window. Failing that, you could try to identify the title that it has when it does open but before it changes title.
