Does this happen when DaVinci Resolve isn't open and not minimized? Are there any other circumstanceds under which it appears? I ask because I don't have DaVinci Resolve, and given that it's a paid app that's notoriously tricky to install, if the bug truly requires that exact app to be installed and open, I'm afraid there's probably little change of the issue being investigated and fixed. If it truly does happen only when DaVinci Resolve is open, I suspect it's an app bug due to inappropriately trying to grab keyboard input too aggressively, or something like that. XWayland apps can be substantially worse behaved in this respect than native Wayland apps can.

So far I only encounter it with DaVinci, but I don't think it is doing anything that any other X11 app couldn't do, and given it breaks all input on any other X11 app running on XWayland I don't think it's a simple DaVinci is broken kind of situation. > I ask because I don't have DaVinci Resolve, and given that it's a paid app that's notoriously > tricky to install, if the bug truly requires that exact app to be installed > and open, I'm afraid there's probably little change of the issue being > investigated and fixed. It has a free version, and there are premade install scripts to install it, the github repo from the issue that caused this bug report to be open is such one, and the issue is not caused by the install script, because I have tried installing it manually, using other scripts and tutorials, and every time it behaves the same way. > If it truly does happen only when DaVinci Resolve is open, I suspect it's an > app bug due to inappropriately trying to grab keyboard input too > aggressively, or something like that.

I don't think this is a app bug, because it behaves normally on other Desktop enviroments, like Gnome (wayland), but also works fine under plasma (X11) as well, this is only a issue when using plasma (wayland) with the globalmenu widget added to a panel, and for all the issues DaVinci has on linux, i don't think this one is a app issue My suspicion is that it is in fact an app bug, but that other compositors either implement a workaround for the issue, or else implement the relevant spec more loosely than KWin does. We've seen this kind of thing before. Moving to KWin so the KWin devs can determine if my guess is nonsense or not. :) *** Bug 492742 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
