Description m867454 2025-07-29 18:38:48 UTC 
SUMMARY
Every once in a while at random, hovering over stuff or clicking on any element with my mouse stops working. I have no exact idea how it works and why it happens but I can say it's relative to fullscreen apps, ESPECIALLY steam games. I checked journalctl for kwin errors and it tells me this:
fedora kwin_wayland[1760]: kf.windowsystem: static bool KX11Extras::mapViewport() may only be used on X11
Another issue that has presented with it is I get randomly sent back one page on apps

I'm afraid we can't do much with this report as-is. 

So when you're in a fullscreen app, the mouse stops, but content still plays and you can still alt+tab between windows?
