This is a problem with VirtualBox, not gnome-shell. VirtualBox uses Qt, but has hard coded dependencies on X11 API, without forcing the Qt's backend to be the one it depends on. A work aronud is: QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb virtualbox VirtualBox is not a Fedora package, but an rpmfusion package. Seems to be a bug open about it already: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5383 Marking as CANTFIX as it's not something gnome-shell can fix, and I cannot move it anywhere on this bug tracker. (In reply to Jonas Ådahl from comment #1) But why we don't have this problem on F30 and F29 ? Because Qt defaults to the Wayland backend in F31, while in F29 and F30 it always used X11, meaning on always going via Xwayland. *** Bug 1780888 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
