Does it work correctly on X11? Or is it broken there too?

Comment 2 Evgeny 2022-08-15 21:21:29 UTC

Just checked - with X11 it works correctly.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2022-08-17 15:46:58 UTC

Thanks. And to be clear, this only affects Alacritty, not all apps, right?

Comment 4 Evgeny 2022-08-17 15:56:37 UTC

Yes, that's right. Alacritty has client side decorations, so probably this has something to do with the problem.

Comment 5 Nate Graham 2022-08-17 15:57:48 UTC

Does it happen with other CSD apps like Gedit?

Comment 6 Evgeny 2022-08-17 16:33:09 UTC

Just tried gedit - it seems it works fine.

Comment 7 Vlad Zahorodnii 2022-09-13 15:22:28 UTC

This is a bug in alacritty. There's nothing that we can do to address it.
