Is this for a projector window?

Yes, it is projector window (sorry, my mistake in translation - I'm using pl_PL locales, I've noticed that in the en version it is called projector only after launching with LC_ALL=C).

Cannot replicate on gnome 41

Sorry it looks like I hit a different issue that prevented me from loading on wayland correctly. I did replicate this issue on gnome 42.

Can also happen when undocking docks even if we can't redock them back.

Screenshot from 2022-04-08 09-17-01 The controls dock was already undocked, the transitions one is the example.

Upstream doesnt seem to care about supporting docks on wayland so there is not much we can do there beyond make tickets for Qt. The projector window is our own code.

I have the same problem on Wayland. Undocking the Scene window, cannot be redock because i cannot drag them back. The only way to re-dock them was using the "Reset Docks" menu item under the "Docks" menu.

Just adding that I also experience this with the projection window and docks - and can replicate this issue.

Wayland on Gnome 43.5

Screencast from 2023-05-06 20-24-32.webm

If the title is double clicked, window decoration shows up, otherwise not. Unable to merge into main window.

I am unable to reproduce the issue with OBS 31+ on Linux Debian 13. Can we close this ticket?

Was your testing under Wayland and Gnome?

Fenrirthviti avatar Nov 25 '25 22:11 Fenrirthviti

Tested on Gnome Wayland with explicit sync disabled for NVIDIA. But if the problem persists for others, precautions must be taken.
