BrowserWorks
Linux, Wayland - buttons on settings page do not work upon initial load
What happened?
This has happened for a while now. When opening the Settings page, there is a visual glitch where suddenly, the width of the content will flicker, then get wider (like 70% of the page). Then, clicking on the rightmost buttons does nothing, you cannot hover and highlight the buttons, double clicking selects all the text on the page. Scrolling is often broken as well and will get stuck.
For example, in this state, the Fonts dropdown works, but the Size dropdown does not, neither does the Advanced button on this row.
To get out of this, clicking on one of the other sidebar tabs, like Home, then clicking back, the content reduces to its normal size around 40%, and the buttons are now clickable again. Since most operations on settings are done immediately after opening, this is very frustrating, and one of the few reasons I haven't used the browser more. This has never happened in librewolf or firefox, which I just tested again
Arch 6.17.8-zen1-1-zen Wayland 1.24.0-1 Sway 1:1.11-1
