Since 6.3, no tablet input is detected on Wayland Electron applications.
No hover, clicking, dragging is passed through, appearing stuck or frozen, but works normally when using a mouse.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a digital tablet connected.
2. Open an Electron Wayland application such as Discord.
3. Try to interact with the application with the tablet pen.

OBSERVED RESULT
No input is passed through.

EXPECTED RESULT
Input is passed through and can be interacted with a tablet pen.

See the comments for workarounds until chrome/electron has proper wayland support.
