Gnome 46 window manager issues
On a daily updated arch system, I use Wayland with Gnome on Iris Xe Graphics. After updating to Gnome 46, I experience very strange window management issues, like:
- resizing windows with `alt + mouse middle click` is a hit and miss. It works a few times, but does not in the next second. When it does not, it pastes instead (as Alt wouldn't be pressed)
- moving windows with `alt + mouse left click` is also a hit and miss. When it does not work, it raises/moves the window behind the current one. (yes, it's very strange)
- sometimes I can also click through windows, a single left click to a window raises the window behind the current one.
All three issues mostly happen with Terminator, but I also see it from Chrome or IntelliJ.
This is a fresh install from ~2 months ago with no special settings applied.. All issues have started since Gnome 46.
Any hints? These issues are really breaking my daily workflow...

Re: Gnome 46 window manager issues
A simple test with terminator:
- open Terminator window, click on it (it's ok)
- resize it, making it larger
- click on the enlarged part, it triggers the problem.
It seems like Gnome's WM still thinks the window has its original size... Why?

Re: Gnome 46 window manager issues
There's a bug in libx11, try to downgrade to 1.8.7 but it should also be fixed w/ 1.8.8-3
Edit: and then there's gnome specific https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p2159690

Re: Gnome 46 window manager issues
@seth I'm not sure.. I run libx11 1.8.8-3 already, and also tried the GSK_RENDERER workaround, still, terminator window misbehaves.
$ pacman -Q | rg libx11
566:libx11 1.8.8-3~ $ tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/$(pidof gnome-shell)/environ | grep GSK
GSK_RENDERER=glOffline

Re: Gnome 46 window manager issues
kjozsa you are not alone, I have the exact same issues for what it's worth. Downgrading to gnome-shell 45 and libx11 1.8.7 does not resolve this either.

Re: Gnome 46 window manager issues
Did you only downgrade gnome-shell?
The more relevant process would be https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/mutter/
libx11 probably isn't relevant anyway since terminator/VTE3 won't rely on xwayland anymore, I guess… or does it?

Re: Gnome 46 window manager issues
I did not downgrade anything yet, I'm still up-to-date as of today.
I checked extramaus, and I get a red cursor over terminator and Console (gnome's default terminal) as well. Note that I can not make Console misbehave with a window resize, but I checked alacritty, termite and kitty and all 3 have the exact same behaviour as terminator: the Gnome window manager does not detect its enlarged size of the window.

Re: Gnome 46 window manager issues
I downgraded gnome-shell mutter libx11
(I'm on x11 not wayland)
As kjozsa says, it affects a few apps (eg pavucontrol) but terminator is the most annoying one.

Does it move? That would point at xwayland. Do you get the misbehavior w/
a) foot
b) xterm
?

Re: Gnome 46 window manager issues
*duh* I was on Xorg... turns out I switched back some weeks ago. All my issues have gone - terminator works 100% as expected. @seth thanks for helping me out finding this!
@JimDeadlock maybe try to switch to wayland as well..

Re: Gnome 46 window manager issues
That acutally makes the libx11 problem rather likely - for the records, do you use some some IM (ibus is gnome default, but fcitx etc. are likewise affected by this)?

Re: Gnome 46 window manager issues
@JimDeadlock, same question. And if you do, try to unset that?

Re: Gnome 46 window manager issues
I have nothing set in /etc/environment so I assume I have the default ibus

Re: Gnome 46 window manager issues
@JimDeadlock you can check for a running ibus like this:
$ pgrep -ia ibus
2311 /usr/bin/ibus-daemon --panel disable
2449 /usr/lib/ibus/ibus-dconf
2451 /usr/lib/ibus/ibus-extension-gtk3

Re: Gnome 46 window manager issues
Seems no IM is running?

Re: Gnome 46 window manager issues
No output for that. Is an IM necessary? It seems I've been doing fine without one for years.

Re: Gnome 46 window manager issues
No, isn't - but it causes the input bug in libx11, so we'll have to find another one for your symptoms.
Downgrading to gnome-shell 45 and libx11 1.8.7 does not resolve this either.
Might suggest it's even different from the OP.
Can you rule out a hardware issue by testing eg. an openbox session?

Re: Gnome 46 window manager issues
I tried an openbox session but I get a black screen with mouse pointer.

Re: Gnome 46 window manager issues
Rightclick the desktop, openbox is just a WM - nothing else starts by default (you can also try icewm, bit more like Win95

Re: Gnome 46 window manager issues
I can confirm that with icewm the window resizing behaves normally. I couldn't find the necessary apps with openbox.

Re: Gnome 46 window manager issues
- open Terminator window, click on it (it's ok)
- resize it, making it larger
- click on the enlarged part, it triggers the problem.
Can you reproduce this? If so, is "click on the enlarged part" actually required or does the window misbehave on its previous geometry as well?
If you can reproduce, don't just click on it, run "xwininfo" and/or xprop and click that on it (the pointer will turn into a "+" and you can pick a window)
It'll tell use whether the resize failed or gnome does weird stuff.
If the resize failed, does it trail? Ie. if you perform a second (maybe minimal) resize, do you end up with the geometry you previously should have gotten?
