I love gnome, but this bug is driving me crazy.
This bug exists since I get my surface 3 (for years) , and I have no idea what is causing it.
Have you filed a bug somewhere in the issue tracker? I don't think anyone from the GNOME devs is using a surface, so if you don't provide any info, there's a good chance they don't even know about it.
Mentioned by Philip goto, it is reported
I think it might be this bug
Yes, it is, seems like what I found. 2 years old issue, fix is ready but not pulled for some reason.
Classic Gnome
big thanks for you!!
Sorry this doesn't help the issue but can someone tell me what the cat animated icon is because I think I need it immediately, thanks.
Its runcat, a extension to tell me the current cpu usage. Can also act as a short cut to system monitor, very useful.
Glad to see another runcat user. It's a must have extension.
Love that! Thanks
Am I the only seeing no description or photo of what the bug is as part of the main post? Is this some bug in lemmy?
Video may not shown in your lemmy client. Use this link instead.
I love the hand gesture at the end!
Wow this is something new that I found out just now. Lemmy-ui was able to show the video but none of my clients are showing a video or even hinting towards the fact that there is something to show
Wayland/X11/Xwayland? Which distro, which kernel?
Does this happen with all apps, or only with Console?
It's Wayland. It happen with gtk based app, especially the menu button. It's always the menu button not working.
I found it! I can reproduce the issue, it's not random, we can open a bug report. It happens if you focus another window with the mouse, than even though you can focus the window with touch, the button won't work there.
The button works this way:
The button doesn't work this way:
So in other words, it works only, if you focused the window with mouse previously. I can't see anything related to this in the logs. Please try to reproduce.
I'm still on Gnome 44, I would wait until I get Gnome 45, to see if maybe they fixed this.
I have an old touchscreen lenvo yoga, I use it with gnome and never noticed this. Checked it for this post, and it behaves the same way :) I use the touchscreen only for scrolling webpages, never wanted to touch buttons on the header, I never use it as a tablet, always in laptop mode.
Played a bit and I could reproduce the issue, in multiple apps, but I don't know when it happens. Also when it stops registering the touches it also stops registering touchpad clicks on the header buttons, so I guess it's not a touch only issue, I cannot even click on that ellipsis button with the touchpad anymore. Making the app fullscreen solves it sometimes, also opening the activities overview helped sometimes.
It seems totally random when it happens.
Mentioned by Philip goto, someone has already filed a report
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1523
And I am surprise how the bug exists for years and no-one brother it. Anyway, it's going to be fixed in future.
Also, firefox does not recognize my touchscreen input in a few area. For example, you can not scroll on menu, history, and I am considering to file a report. Does this happen to you? Using Firefox on Wayland.
I have no issues with firefox, I use it with these 2 envvars:
MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1
I will check that tomorrow, as I don't use touch for everything.
Here is the video
As you can see, scrolling is available for webpage, but not in sub-menu.
It's the same for me. But as a workaround scrolling works in the History pane (Ctrl+H) and in the Library (Ctrl+Shift+O)
Thanks for reply. Report on bugzilla
Unrelated but the Activate GNOME watermark is just some kind of meme of Activate Windows, right?
~~Yes, you can get it at here~~
No. I am too broke to buy the license of gnome :(
I know these two environment, and it helps with webpage scrolling only. In some menu, like history menu, it does not scroll but drag the text only. Better file a bug report.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
