Description Chester 2015-07-12 03:27:51 UTC
Description of problem:
I'm trying out Fedora's wayland preview with Gnome. Intermittenly, switching
between Chrome and gnome-terminal would cause a bunch of d's to be inputed into
the terminal. This is not always reproducible. It only happens sometimes, but
the behavior persists across reboots.

Example:
Switching to terminal, I get ddddddddddddddddddddd (continuously)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Chrome 43
Gnome 3.16
Fedora 22


How reproducible:
Intermitten


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Gnome wayland session
2. Switch back and forth between Chrome and gnome-terminal

Actual results:
Switch to terminal with constant 'd' input


Expected results:
Switch to terminal without any input


Additional info:
This phenomenon occurs when switching windows with alt-tab, super key,
Activities corner, clicking, opening new terminal window.

It seems to only effect gnome-terminal and not Chrome.

If something like Vim happens to be opened in the terminal, it starts deleting
every line in the file. That's not really a big deal though, since Vim has
pretty good undo, but it's pretty alarming to see it happen.

I don't think the problem is specific to gnome-shell actually, I've seen similar issues with weston as well.

I guess this is a duplicate of Bug #1148203 - [Wayland][Gnome] Keyboard input handled twice on focus change

This issue is present on wayland for most (or even all) applications, but can not always be reproduced.

I don't think this is a duplicate of that issue.

My gnome-terminal isn't receiving the same input as another window. It's consistently receiving a constant `dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd`. And it is triggered by any focus change regardless of whether it was keyboard driven.

* alt-tab
* Activities
* Click window
* Hover (if mouse focus is enabled)

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 15:18:27 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
