Hi all.

Excerpts from Alex V. Koval's message of 2012-01-29 17:50:32 +0100:
For example, I can not find any information what does mean 'another
container' which appears sometimes on top?

I have to pick up this thread again, because it' still not completely clear to me.

Here is an example:

I have predefined:

workspace_layout tabbed

in my i3 configuration. Now if I press e.g. Mod+V to switch to vertical split it always opens 'another container' (unless I focus parent before).

If I have not predefined any workspace_layout, it just splits without creating 'another container' (and without having the need to focus parent, too).

What exactly is the difference here?
