XWayland and mousewheel

I just started using wayland, and using chrome (I guess through xwayland), I noticed using the mousewheel over the tabs scrolls through them 2 by 2. Instead of selecting the tab to the left when scrolling up one step, it goes two tabs to the left.

I imagine somehow xwayland sends twice as many mousewheel events?

Looking on the web, I found this:
https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-92401

Apparently minecraft has a similar issue, making me think the problem is with xwayland rather than chrome itself.

Any idea? Is there a setting somewhere for this?

Thanks!

Re: XWayland and mousewheel

I have the same problem in xwayland on gnome. There's definitely something wrong with the mousewheel input code for xwayland. Same problem happens in other programs (like Audacious)

Re: XWayland and mousewheel

wayland uses libinput for input, so you could narrow down the cause by testing if you have the same issue using xf86-input-libinput with X.
