[SOLVED] Firefox stops reacting to mouse on multi-monitor after sleep

bambooCZ · 2022-08-24 18:03:28

Hi, I need help with this. The problem happens only when I have connected external display to my laptop. I run Gnome on Wayland and Firefox. Everything works fine until the display turns off due to inactivity. Then after wakeup Firefox stops responding to mouse events. Not all. Clicks work, but mouse enter/leave don't. This includes the web content as well as the rest of the FF UI. When I try to resize the Firefox window it frezes completely. But when I open a new window it is unaffected. This is my daily driven configuration and it starts to drive me mad. It lasts for about 5 months.

I wanted to attach screencast of the problem, but screenrecording seems to be broken as well. It freezes after a few seconds.

This will be GPU stack related I think. I have CPU i7-8565U and using the integrated GPU.

external display to my laptop […] doesn't turn off due to inactivity

Do you run firefox on wayland or xwayland?

Does it make a difference?

Does keyboard input work as expected?

Fixed my czech-english. Sorry

Apparently I run it on xwayland. Will try wayland tomorrow. I have the second display in my office. I have definitely tried to run it on wayland but it caused some other bugs in the past.

Keyboard input works as expected. (Besides another system wide bug causing that sometimes a key stroke acts like different key, but that's another story. Windows doesn't do that.)

Thank you for your tip.
