Description Cristian Le 2024-04-02 15:58:15 UTC 
SUMMARY

The setup is that I have 2 Jetbrains IDEs that are overlapping with each other. When I select one to bring to foreground, the mouse clicks, etc. are still being sent to the background app.

So far I am not sure what kind of apps trigger it, but it seems flatpak and native apps are safe.

jp_bennett in matrix chat room also reported this happenning with vscode/thunderbird + chrome

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Not guaranteed to be reproduced, it sometimes happens with the same Jetbrains IDE, but most often it is with different IDEs

1. Have 2 windows overlap
2. Switch between which window is in focus
3. Click/right-click/type and observe if it's directed to the appropriate window

Do you have the "Slide Back" effect enabled?
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2024-04-02 16:20:32 UTC 
Could also be Bug 478556.

No, it is disabled. If i enabled that things are thousand times worse.

It happened again, and this time between a Jetbrains IDE and zulip (installed from Flatpak). This time it was because neither windows were in focus, and even though I clicked on the Jebtrains IDE in the foreground, the actions were selected for zulip in the background. Zulip remained in the background during that.

The problem is one or both of those apps not supporting the xdg-activation-v1 Wayland protocol.
