Description of problem: I rarely run into situations where many applications¹ don't seem to get keyboard input events any more. They still react to mouse events. Gnome-shell still works fine handling both keyboard and mouse events for its own UI. Switching to a tty and back makes this problem go away. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libwayland-client-1.10.0-1.fc24.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-Xwayland-1.18.3-6.fc24.x86_64 mutter-3.20.4-1.fc24.x86_64 gnome-shell-3.20.3-3.fc24.x86_64 gtk3-3.20.6-1.fc24.x86_64 libinput-1.4.0-1.fc24.x86_64 How reproducible: rarely, unknown how to do this What I do: click into any text field of any application or try any shortcut like Ctrl+F which is supported by this application Actual results: Nothing happens. All (or most?) applications don't react to using the keyboard Expected results: Applications should get and handle keyboard input. Additional info: Workaround: Switch to any tty and back. You don't need to login on the tty or logout from your graphical session. Ctrl+Alt+Fn and back is enough. See also this very similar bug #1358700. ¹ affected applications: * Gtk+ 3.x wayland applications: evolution, gnome-todo, * XWayland applications: * firefox (Gtk3) * Zim, Tor Browser (Gtk2) * QuiteRSS (Qt4) * KWrite, dolphin (Qt5) * Libreoffice with SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen * nautilus, gnome-contacts, yelp with GDK_BACKEND=x11 applications not affected: * Gtk+ 3.x wayland applications: gedit, nautilus, gnome-terminal, epiphany, gnome-contacts, yelp * gnome-shell itself I don't know anything to debug this issue. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Wayland_problems doesn't give me a hint because I don't know where to start.
