Libinput upgrade broke scrolling for gnome VMs

Recently after upgrading libinput from 1.28.1-1.fc42 to 1.28.901-1.fc42 I’ve noticed that I lose the ability to scroll with mouse wheel or two finger touchpad dragging in my F42 gnome qemu virtual machines.

I switched to a gnome session on my host to verify, but there I can scroll no problems with both mouse and touchpad running 1.28.901-1.fc42, so it seems specific to virtual machines only.

If I downgrade the VMs back to 1.28.1-1.fc42 and then reboot, I get scrolling back.

Not sure if this is a bug or something I’m doing strange; anyone else running qemu F42 vms notice similar behavior?

It’s a bug in libinput, fixed with libinput-1.28.901-2.fc42, see BZ#2379768.

Oh, thanks! Tried searching, but I didn’t turn that up. I guess I can just hold the package until 901-2 releases.

Thanks again!
