I think the problem is “Alacritty”… server/client-side decorations maybe?
- When I open Alacritty for the first time I can’t alt-tab to it instantly, it keeps loading for a while.
- My tablet cursor hides when focusing my Alacritty window. That behavior propagates to other windows (ex. Firefox). That’s what made my tablet unusable and sometimes locked up my whole GNOME environment. Still I don’t know why.
- The problem doesn’t happen on: niri, sway, hyprland. Just GNOME.
- Happens with windows decorations enabled or disabled. The bug keeps being the same.
# ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml
[window]
decorations = "None"
# ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml
[window]
decorations = "Full"
- The bug doesn’t happen with mouse tho.
On other bugs:
- Can’t change the table button function on the left-options, the windows cut’s it. Took the photo with phone camera (prtsc disabled by menu).
Possible improvements: Spawn the menu at the center, not at the most left position + Make a better menu maybe? + Fix the blurry text on the menu. +
I would use the “Tab” key for navigation but the menu inhibits my key as expected really. - Option “Left Mousebutton Click” on the pen bind menu acts as Middle click and not Left click.
Help
- How could I change the function of my tablet buttons using the
gsettings
command? I feel more comfortable doing that. - How do I change tablet area? If I could on GNOME, how to change the area depending on the application focused? Krita with full area and firefox with reduced area for example.
How could I report this to gnome? where do they listen more? Gitlab? GNOME forums? Fedora has a good track record of answering, that’s why I posted here. Also I thought it was a kernel driver bug Digibend/hid_uclogic. Installing kernel drivers is a pain with SecureBoot enabled tho. My problems were somehow worse on Silverblue 41 (rpm-ostree rebase
).
