Description Peter Hutterer 2019-06-04 05:27:34 UTC

Description of problem:
Gnome on Wayland, when an icon in the left dock is dragged with a tablet stylus (e.g. Intuos Pro), the icon attaches itself to the other mouse cursor and is stuck there.

I think this is gnome-shell, not mutter, but not 100% sure. Possibly same source as bug 1716750

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-3.28.3-10.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:
Intuos Pro or similar tablet is required.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click on activities
2. drag one of the icons just outside the dock
3. icon is now attached to the other mouse cursor
4. try interacting with the stylus - won't work
5. a mouse click will reset the icon

Additional info:
The drag wasn't intentional, problem with a tablet pen is that it's very easy to accidentally drag something during interacting.

Comment 1 Peter Hutterer 2019-09-05 07:36:29 UTC

This bug seems to have changed a bit, there's a even easier way of reproducing now: open activities, start moving a window with the tablet stylus. This will attach that window to the other cursor and make the stylus unresponsive to clicks until the mouse button is clicked.


gnome-shell-3.32.2-9.el8.x86_64
mutter-3.32.2-10.el8.x86_64

I can easily reproduce this as well.

Comment 4 Michael Boisvert 2019-12-17 16:41:52 UTC

I can no longer reproduce this on mutter-3.32.2-26.el8.x86_64 and gnome-shell-3.32.2-13.el8.x86_64.
