Description of problem: When I've started Thunderbird on Wayland from thunderbird-wayland in Plasma 5.21.2 and earlier in a Fedora 34 KDE Plasma installation, Thunderbird was started on X. The Troubleshooting information page when running thunderbird-wayland showed Window Protocol x11 Thunderbird on Wayland started with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 thunderbird showed Window Protocol wayland Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): thunderbird-wayland-78.8.0-1.fc33.x86_64 gtk3-3.24.26-1.fc34.x86_64 How reproducible: This occurs every time I've started thunderbird-wayland in Plasma on Wayland. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot a Fedora 34 KDE Plasma installation updated to 2021-3-11 with updates-testing enabled 2. Log in to Plasma 5.21.2 on Wayland 3. If thunderbird-wayland isn't installed, install it with sudo dnf install thunderbird-wayland 4. Open the Application Launcher menu 5. Type Thunderbird on Wayland in the search bar 6. Select Thunderbird on Wayland 7. Select Help > Troubleshooting Information in Thunderbird 8. Look at Window Protocol in the Graphics section of the Troubleshooting Information page Actual results: thunderbird-wayland started Thunderbird on X in Plasma Expected results: thunderbird-wayland would start Thunderbird on Wayland in Plasma Additional info: I upgraded to thunderbird-78.8.0-1.fc33.x86_64 from koji because thunderbird 78.8.0 isn't available in F34 due to a build failure. thunderbird-78.7.0-2.fc34 was also affected. Running thunderbird-wayland started Thunderbird on Wayland in GNOME 40 beta.
can confirm this is also the case with sway on fedora 33. setting the mentioned environment variable (MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1) also fixed the issue in my case. potentially relevant info: - sway : v1.5 - thunderbird: 78.8.1
Apparently it checks if the desktop is GNOME to enable Wayland, unlike Firefox cat /usr/bin/thunderbird-wayland #!/usr/bin/bash # # Run Thunderbird under Wayland # ## ## Enable Wayland backend? ## if [ "$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP" == "GNOME" ]; then export MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 fi exec /usr/bin/thunderbird "$@
Tested it with Wayland: very buggy, the app keeps flickering.
