ratpoison gets confused about what is the active frame

Hello,

I love ratpoison, I've used it for many years.

There's a bug I run into sometimes that I can't quite reliably reproduce,
and I was curious if this was a known thing.

Sometimes, the "next" and "prev" commands, as well as the "split" and
"hsplit" commands, affect a different frame than the active/focused one (as
determined by "focusup", "focusleft", etc).

So for example, I'll be happily going about my day with a complicated
organization of frames, and suddenly my "next" frame key will affect the
wrong frame, and if I try to split the frame the wrong frame gets split.

This seems to happen at random, e.g. I've seen it happen after long
sessions where I haven't done any reconfiguring of the frames (no splitting
or resizing). Sometimes when it happens I can fix it by using the "only"
command and then resplitting everything; sometimes that doesn't help.
Sometimes I can fix it by using the "remove" command to remove the
offending frame, other times that doesn't seem to help either.

FWIW, here is my .ratpoisonrc:

Any advice you may have would be much appreciated.
