WSL Version

Are you using WSL 1 or WSL 2?

• [x] WSL 2
• [ ] WSL 1

Kernel Version

5.15.167.4-1

Distro Version

Arch

Other Software

Cambalache (flatpak ar.xjuan.Cambalache), version 0.94.0 Workbench (flatpak re.sonny.Workbench), version 46.1 GParted, version 1.6.0

Repro Steps

Launching any of the flatpak apps (including their non-flatpak versions) and attempting to click anything that resembles a popup or a dropdown menu, results in the menu becoming unresponsive with subsequent clicks.

Only GParted's popup's behaved well. I also noticed that Qt applications behave well. The problem only seems to arise with these newer GTK applcations, which may be due to CSD.

Expected Behavior

All applications with Popups should behave correctly

Diagnostic Logs

Another one I tested, but didn't show is gnome-builder. Upon launching that one and attempting to move the popups, I get the following message in the logs:

Compositor doesn't support moving popups, relying on remapping

I encountered the same issue, and I noticed that when clicking the pop-up menu for the second time, it actually appears behind the application window. Even if you move the application's main window, you still can't click on the pop-up menu that's hidden behind. Moreover, I found that this issue only occurs with GTK4 applications running on Wayland. If you launch the same application under X11 using the GDK_BACKEND=x11 environment variable, none of the above problems appear.

i am also encountering this issue, and doing GDK_BACKEND=x11 fixes it, however this is a temporary solution and should be fixed

I am not sure if this is the fix, but it seems to work for me (Debian Trixie/Testing WSL 2), installing xwayland, xwayland-run, xwaylandvideobridge. Hope this helps, at least with diagnosis.

Well, I take that back. It seemed to fix one of my apps, but not gnome-text-editor.
