RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
Gnome on Wayland, when an icon in the left dock is dragged with a tablet stylus (e.g. Intuos Pro), the icon attaches itself to the other mouse cursor and is stuck there.

I think this is gnome-shell, not mutter, but not 100% sure. Possibly same source as bug 1716750

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-3.28.3-10.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:
Intuos Pro or similar tablet is required.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click on activities
2. drag one of the icons just outside the dock
3. icon is now attached to the other mouse cursor
4. try interacting with the stylus - won't work
5. a mouse click will reset the icon

Additional info:
The drag wasn't intentional, problem with a tablet pen is that it's very easy to accidentally drag something during interacting.

This bug seems to have changed a bit, there's a even easier way of reproducing now: open activities, start moving a window with the tablet stylus. This will attach that window to the other cursor and make the stylus unresponsive to clicks until the mouse button is clicked.


gnome-shell-3.32.2-9.el8.x86_64
mutter-3.32.2-10.el8.x86_64

I can easily reproduce this as well.

I can no longer reproduce this on mutter-3.32.2-26.el8.x86_64 and gnome-shell-3.32.2-13.el8.x86_64.
