Are you using a Xorg or Wayland session? If the latter, xwininfo only work with windows from X11 apps, not native Wayland ones. You are right, I was trying to inspect a native Wayland window. Thanks for the follow-up, closing as not a bug then. |
Description of problem: Utilities like xwininfo and xprop allow the user to select a window to be inspected by clicking the mouse inside the window area. Such interactive selection is not working for either program. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-utils-7.5-34.fc32.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start xwininfo 2. the program outputs: xwininfo: Please select the window about which you would like information by clicking the mouse in that window. 3. click on any window on the desktop Actual results: Mouse clicks have no effect. Expected results: Mouse cursor should change into a crosshair. A single click should select the corresponding window.
