I upgraded Fedora Atomic GNOME from 43 to 44 without problems, the only change I have noticed is a tiny annoyance when using the Brave browser, it does not happen with Firefox, when I open the Brave browser which worked fine with 43, now in 44, for the first few seconds maybe 10 seconds, I get the tiny running wheel you see in the screenshot instead of the arrow cursor, with Fedora 43 the wheel was gone within a second. That is the only change I have noticed. I can live with it but I am posting the information in case anybody else is using Brave and they can confirm this is happening to them too.
I already had this issue since F43 and on debian 13, especially for chromium/electron apps not just Brave.
It did not happen for me in F43 and I should have mentioned in case it matters that I downloaded Brave from Brave official website, I don’t use the Flatpak version found in gnome-software.
Maybe deleting the cache in ~/.cache/brave or something like that will help (I don’t know where brave stores the cache, because I don’t use it).
That is easy to do by going into Settings and selecting Delete browsing data, which includes the cache, history, cookies and more. It didn’t change anything other than having to login again into the forum.
Try running it from the command line. You might need to specify a flag so that Brave writes the log to STDOUT or some other file.
I don’t know how to do any of that but it does not matter I have now discovered that this is not a Brave browser specific problem it is also happening with Gnome System Monitor and Gnome Files, the way it works is the following, when I launch the application, for example Gnome System Monitor the wheel appears and remains there until I move the mouse and the wheel moves outside of the System Monitor window and it becomes the expected arrow cursor, the best way to see this, if anybody wants to try, is by launching Gnome Files, because Gnome Files, just like the Brave browser, is launched covering the full screen and you can’t move the wheel/cursor out of the window.
EDIT: This is no longer happening after launching the applications a couple of times. I will test it again after I reboot the computer to find out whether this behaviour is now gone or it has to do with each new reboot.
I suggest changing the title
I tried but the title can not be edited. Are you on Fedora Atomic too? I wonder if this is only an Atomic issue.
This is not specific to Atomic.
Started getting the same issue on F44 Workstation after upgrading from F43, with the official Chrome package.
Nah. Mine isn’t Atomic, it’s Workstation.
I created a new topic on Gnome for this issue.
