Comment in the code makes the fix clear, I think.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
1) On the right monitor, open two terminals (h-split workspace)
2) 'i3 mark foo' on the right terminal
3) Focus the left terminal
4) Switch to the left monitor
5) i3 '[con_mark="foo"] focus'
6) the left window will contain the pointer (and is focused for a short period
of time, or even permanently due to race conditions)
From i3 --help:
If you pass plain text arguments, i3 will interpret them as a command
to send to a currently running i3 (like i3-msg). This allows you to
use nice and logical commands, such as:
i3 border none
i3 floating toggle
i3 kill window
In order to not depend on X11 just for getting the socket paths, scripts or
other programs can now use i3 --get-socketpath. Since i3 must be present on the
computer anyways, this saves one dependency :).
The former two provide fallbacks in case $PAGER or $EDITOR is not set (which
might be more common than you think, because they have to be set in
~/.xsession, not in the shell configuration!) while the latter tries to launch
a terminal emulator. The scripts are most prominently used in i3-nagbar, which
alerts the user when the configuration is broken for some reason. Also,
i3-sensible-terminal is used in the default configuration.
This commit does not rely on the shell supporting ${PAGER:-less} anymore, which
is not the case for 'fish'.
This is mainly useful for the testsuite. The tests can wait until i3 processed
all X11 events and then continue. This eliminates sleep() calls which leads to
a more robust and faster testsuite.
The configuration option does the same as the commandline parameter, except
it can be easily set by the user (e.g. you are using KDM and can't start a
session through ~/.xsession).

This commit makes the coordinates proportional when moving floating windows.
That is, if you have a window at the bottom of your 1920 px monitor and move it
to your 800 px monitor, it will be at the bottom of the 800 px monitor (and not
out of bounds).
My testcase was putting a floating window on the left output, but overlapping a
little to the right output. Then switch to a workspace on the right output.
From the source:
We need ev >= 4 for the following code. Since it is not *that* important
(it only makes sure that there are no i3-nagbar instances left behind) we
still support old systems with libev 3.
