Anything else?

Note I tried upgrading to latest versions of everything in fedora...This caused an ugly window manager frame to be drawn once I launched wezterm and I was able to move it around. However once I rebooted, the frame went away. Is there a way to enable this frame in config?
Adding INTEGRATED_BUTTONS to config, makes the ugly bar appear and i can resize wezterm... That doesnt seem like intended effect. The integrated bar is still mostly not working, except for the exit button.

+1 for Fedora 40 with Wayland, wezterm ver. 20240812-215703-30345b36. I have been using the new COSMIC desktop, and using window_decorations = "NONE" seems to let COSMIC do the resizing and the title bar, which seems to work better.
@wez Thank you so much for working on this! Wezterm is my favorite terminal, and I've tried a bunch of them. It's a better Rust terminal than COSMIC's built-in Rust terminal -- I wonder if they would "adopt" your project as the default COSMIC terminal, since their goal is to be all Rust. Just a thought :)

I'm using the latest version (wezterm 20240928-215536-a2f2c07a) on debian unstable and I cannot move the window. The workaround with config.window_decorations = "TITLE | RESIZE | INTEGRATED_BUTTONS" works to make the window moveable, but results in two max/min/close buttons.
Hi Wez, thanks for the update. I've upgraded to F41 and am still having the same problem. I don't have a .wezterm.lua. I did remove and reinstall from the copr nightly repo.
Launching wezterm by clicking on the icon or hitting meta -> search wezterm the window has one title bar and will not move or resize. Running wezterm start in that terminal gives an error below, but launches a new wezterm with the original title bar and the gnome title bar on top.

Subscribing to updates... Same issue here. Copr nightly build. INTEGRATED_BUTTONS helps but not pretty. Cannot resize the window at all besides maximize and minimize..

Same for me on NixOs 24.11, but haven't tested with latest. I think this is a related/duplicate issue: #5332

Hello, could you test https://github.com/wezterm/wezterm/pull/6923 ? It's still WIP but might improve this situation 🤔
Hello, could you test #6923 ? It's still WIP but might improve this situation 🤔
How do?
Do I need to pull that particular branch and build from source?
Yes (sorry), it should be mostly straight forward by following https://wezterm.org/install/source.html
Hello, could you test #6923 ? It's still WIP but might improve this situation 🤔
Sorry this took a while to get around to.
Tested it and it worked flawlessly! I'm able to resize, drag around, min/maximize, etc. Everything functions how you'd expect
Thanks for the suggestion!
