[Solved]Gnome terminal 'move back' via middle click on title bar not w

Hey all,

I'm using Arch Linux for at least 2 years, and which I first hoped would be fixed via an update; still hasn't, so maybe it's just a config issue?

I have ny Gnome setup generally that middle click (the wheel) lowers (moves to background) a window. This works for all applications, EXCEPT gnome-terminal, it just refuses this input. What gives? Anybody else experience this as well? Can this be fixed?

As it works for some applicationsm you probably have already set

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences action-middle-click-titlebar 'lower'

It doesn't work for gnome-terminal (on wayland), because it is only working for Gtk 4 applications , see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/1895.

Thanks for that, and that's what I was fearing. But 3 year old bug! Wow. Guess we have to home this will be ported to gtk3 at some point, or just wait for gtk4 ... kind of ridiculous, but thanks for the pointer.
