Guake
"Follow mouse" in multi monitor setup only works for certain windows
Describe the bug
I have a multi-monitor setup on wayland. The option to make the terminal appear on the mouse screen only works when the mouse enter certain windows (in my case Microsoft Teams chat and Guake Preferences, but I believe that any XWayland window would work). Example: I put the Teams window so that it spans all monitors. If the mouse is inside the window on monitor X then guake appears on monitor X. If the mouse leaves the window on monitor X and then I move it to monitor Y then guake will pop up on monitor X instead on Y.
Expected behavior
Guake should pop up where the cursor is
Actual behavior
Guake pops up where the cursor has been seen last by X server

I've got the same issue.
I.e it captures the correct screen when I hover over Chrome. But it doesn't when it's gedit.
I'm on Ubuntu 22.4.1 LTS. mart@VivoBook:~$ guake --version Guake Terminal: 3.8.5 VTE: 0.68.0 VTE runtime: 0.68.0 Gtk: 3.24.33
PS: Haven't tried compiling latest dev versions. But comments #2115 seems to suggest that it may not be fixed yet.
i've switched to xorg as a workaround, where i still have some issues with fullscreen (disappearing tabs) but not with mouse follow
I also have this problem
ubuntu 22.4.1 Wayland
Guake Terminal: 3.9.1.dev12 VTE: 0.68.0 VTE runtime: 0.68.0 Gtk: 3.24.33
I have the same issue with ubuntu 22.4.1 Wayland and Guake 3.9.0. Anyone knows if there's an update on this issue?
Same issue, Guake seems to "lock" to the monitor where Google Chrome was last active. Focusing another application doesn't seem to have any impact. Currently running Guake 3.10, on Wayland 23.1.2, everything pulled from OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.
For what it's worth, you can use Win+click+drag can move it to the other screen. It also seems to fix it, at least temporarily.
