This affects more than Thunderbird. It is a general Xorg problem and not related to NVIDIA. I can reproduce this on an Intel graphics machine. Affected apps: Thunderbird, GTK2 apps, VirtualBox (QT apps?), Libreoffice (severe graphical glitching) Backporting the fix now. FEDORA-2023-7ca5ef3bc9 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 38. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-7ca5ef3bc9 FEDORA-2023-7ca5ef3bc9 has been pushed to the Fedora 38 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report. This is still an issue. It fixes Firefox and Chrome for some reason, but Thunderbird, and Flatpak apps such as Signal, Discord, Slack, and Spotify still do not come to the foreground when clicking the menu bar at the top. I have to click the main window to bring them to the front. I am using X11 with NVIDIA drivers from RPMFusion on Fedora 38. $ rpm -qa|grep mutter-44.0-2.fc38 mutter-44.0-2.fc38.x86_64 I did not have a problem with Firefox. You may be encountering a different issue. Did you log out and login or restart after updating mutter? Yep, I logged out and back in and the issue remained. I fully rebooted too and the results was the same. Just ran into this with a fresh Fedora 38 install, Xorg session, up to date mutter-44.1-1.fc38 package. Seems to affect all windows with server side decorations, including Firefox with title bars; windows with client side decorations still behave as they should. But...Joe says Firefox works for him. This seems to be getting a bit hard to pin down at this point. I'm not sure you're seeing the same bug as each other, or as the initial report... Firefox depends on whether it's drawing its own title bar, hence the specific mention of server side decorations: from the Customize Toolbar screen, check Title Bar, and the issue appears. Firefox (and Chrome) out of the box wouldn't exhibit this behavior. (Among the reasons I still use title bars in Firefox is that it's often the easiest part of the window to hit with a left or middle click to raise or lower, without touching something in the current tab/page.) On the affected laptop, I currently have about a dozen xterms, two Firefox instances, and one each of gvim, Writer, Calc, the Pidgin buddy list, and Evolution; the latter is the only window among them with client side decorations (which itself is a relatively recent change), and thus the only one I can focus/raise/lower via the title bar. The ensuing use of Alt-Tab/Alt-` to get around has me well on my way to an RSI, at this point :) |
