Here are two pieces of interaction in a terminal window: 1. matica!23 ~$ xdotool getmouselocation x:1106 y:702 screen:0 window:2097172 matica!24 ~$ xdotool mousemove_relative 100 100 matica!25 ~$ xdotool getmouselocation x:1206 y:802 screen:0 window:2097172 2. matica!27 ~$ xdotool getmouselocation x:1306 y:902 screen:0 window:2097172 matica!28 ~$ xdotool mousemove 100 100 matica!29 ~$ xdotool getmouselocation x:100 y:100 screen:0 window:2097172 BUT, neither during 1 nor during 2 has the mouse moved at all! At first I thought it was something with my configuration - I asked a friend to try it on a Debian system with an earlier version of Gnome, and it worked there. But it fails even with the plainest possible desktop settings. Either it's a crippling bug in xdotool or I am missing something rather fundamental.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life. On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
