Description Martin Stransky 2026-02-09 08:18:08 UTC

Install screen (Welcome to Fedora linux window) is not clickable. I can't click to any button (it does nothing). I also can't to interact with any other gnome shell element / menu. Looks like the gnome-shell does not have focus at all. Keyboard navigation seems to be working (tab to switch buttons/ enter to confirm).

Testing on Virtual machine, iso: Fedora-Workstation-Live-44-20260208.n.0.x86_64.iso

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot Fedora live image
2. try to select any action by mouse. Keyboard navigation seems to be working.
3.

Comment 1 Martin Stransky 2026-02-09 08:21:53 UTC

Note that Rawhide (gnome 49) on the same box / virtual machine works as expected - the bug is on Fedora 44 iso only.

Comment 2 Martin Stransky 2026-02-09 08:27:56 UTC

Looks like the problem is on install phase only - when installed and rebooted the mouse is active again.

Comment 3 Martin Stransky 2026-02-09 09:11:10 UTC

Will try bare metal tomorrow, will need for Firefox testing anyway.

Comment 4 Martin Stransky 2026-02-09 11:12:29 UTC

Tested on bare metal - and I see the issue on both install screen and gnome-shell after install. Mouse works after reboot and also mouse worked on the dist reclaim UI page.

Bug reports for this component on Red Hat Bugzilla are not actively monitored. Please consider reporting your issue directly to GNOME at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/ to improve the chances that your issue will be resolved. This issue should only be kept open if it:

1. Relates to Fedora packaging or integration with other Fedora components
2. Is required for Fedora release processes, such as blocker bugs and freeze exceptions

If this issue isn't needed for either of these two reasons, please:

 * create an issue with GNOME
 * add a link to the GNOME issue here
 * close this issue as CLOSED/UPSTREAM
