Workspace switcher popup doesn't close automatically on Gnome 42.1 on Wayland

Open tstirrat15 opened this issue 3 years ago • 17 comments

Description

I use ctrl + alt + <arrow> to swap between workspaces. In previous versions of gnome, when I released those keys, the overlay that shows which workspace is focused would close itself and I could return to whatever I was doing on the target screen. Currently, after I press the key combo, the switcher stays on screen, and it catches all keyboard events until I hit esc.

It's workable, because all I have to do is hit esc, but it's additional friction and is frustrating.

Please let me know if there's additional context that I can provide.

Sounds like a duplicate of #219. Which GNOME version do you use?

I would like to also know if you're using xorg or wayland I think it's still buggy under wayland for some reason.

Of course this is still an upstream issue.

Yep, it's a duplicate of #219 and seems to be because ubuntu 22.04 hasn't taken gnome 42.1 yet. I'm still on 42. Thank you for pointing me in that direction!

I've been using Wayland, which apparently has problems with the most recent Nvidia drivers as well. Sounds like this is a bleeding-edge tax kind of thing.

I'm on 42.1 and just went from X11 to Wayland and still have this issue, fwiw.

I'm reopening this as I'm seeing the same.

I'm reopening this as I'm seeing the same.

Thanks for validating. Should we update the title to include that it is Gnome 42 on Wayland?

ElijahLynn avatar May 26 '22 18:05 ElijahLynn

Yep, done.

I just received version 42.1-0ubuntu1 of mutter in an apt upgrade and now it's behaving as desired. Closing again.

Can confirm. It wasn't GNOME Shell 42.1 that fixed this issue but mutter 42.1.

mzur avatar Jun 02 '22 06:06 mzur

I'm seeing this issue again. Debian testing, mutter 42.2-1, gnome-shell 42.2-1.

We have GNOME Shell 42.4 now (on Ubuntu). Does anyone still see this behavior with the newest version?

mzur avatar Sep 26 '22 17:09 mzur

I'm still seeing this with mutter 42.4-2 and gnome-shell 42.4-1+build1.

Does anyone see this in GNOME Shell 45?

What I'm experiencing in v45 is that the tiling works (I have a 2x2 setup), moving between them with the arrow keys works, but there's some animation weirdness where if the layout is:

1 2
3 4

moving vertically from 1-3 or 2-4 is animated as a horizontal swipe. It's a little visually jarring but not broken.

EDIT: whoops. I'm responding to the wrong issue. I can create a new issue with the above if it's desired.

The preview tile seems to be working just fine for me - it disappears without any further interaction from me.

The movement animation is one of the things that won't work until GNOME Shell 45.1, so that's expected :wink:

Does anyone see this in GNOME Shell 45?

Sorry for the late reply, Debian just upgraded gnome recently. I'm still seeing the same issue with mutter 46.3.1-2 and gnome-shell 46.3.1-2.
