Using color picker in GIMP sets focus to main window

[hirschsystems]

Hyprland 0.51.1
When interacting with color pickers in GIMP the mouse focus gets jostled back to the main window and the two fight for focus.

stayfocused on the color picker window does not alleviate the issue, not sure what other rules would be applicable.

I don't really view this as a fix more like a "this is completely broken and I need to use it so this at least lets me use it" workaround. This was not my solution someone came up with it in discord but I forget who.

# GIMP windowrules
# Color picker goes bonkers when a file is open the below conflicting rules fixes that
windowrule = nofocus, initialClass:^(org.gimp.GIMP)$, initialTitle:^(Change .* Color)$
windowrule = stayfocused, initialClass:^(org.gimp.GIMP)$, initialTitle:^(Change .* Color)$
windowrule = noblur, initialClass:^(org.gimp.GIMP)$, initialTitle:^(Change .* Color)$
windowrule = opaque, initialClass:^(org.gimp.GIMP)$, initialTitle:^(Change .* Color)$
windowrule = suppressevent urgent, initialClass:^(org.gimp.GIMP)$, initialTitle:^(Change .* Color)$

When the next update to hyprland comes out the rule will need to be changed as the syntax is different. So just for reference here is the same set of rules for the new syntax when that's out:

# GIMP windowrules
# Color picker goes bonkers when a file is open the below conflicting rules fixes that
windowrule = no_focus 1, stay_focused 1, no_blur 1, opaque 1, suppress_event urgent, match:initial_class ^(org.gimp.GIMP)$, match:initial_title ^(Change .* Color)$
