"Follow mouse" in multi monitor setup only works for certain windows #2121

Open MindWithCake opened 2 years ago

MindWithCake commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug

I have a multi-monitor setup on wayland. The option to make the terminal appear on the mouse screen only works when the mouse enter certain windows (in my case Microsoft Teams chat and Guake Preferences, but I believe that any XWayland window would work). Example: I put the Teams window so that it spans all monitors. If the mouse is inside the window on monitor X then guake appears on monitor X. If the mouse leaves the window on monitor X and then I move it to monitor Y then guake will pop up on monitor X instead on Y.

Expected behavior

Guake should pop up where the cursor is

Actual behavior

Guake pops up where the cursor has been seen last by X server

I can confirm this behaviour on ubuntu 22.04.1, guake built from git

I've got the same issue.

I.e it captures the correct screen when I hover over Chrome. But it doesn't when it's gedit.

I'm on Ubuntu 22.4.1 LTS. mart@VivoBook:~$ guake --version Guake Terminal: 3.8.5 VTE: 0.68.0 VTE runtime: 0.68.0 Gtk: 3.24.33

PS: Haven't tried compiling latest dev versions. But comments #2115 seems to suggest that it may not be fixed yet.

i've switched to xorg as a workaround, where i still have some issues with fullscreen (disappearing tabs) but not with mouse follow

I have the same issue with ubuntu 22.4.1 Wayland and Guake 3.9.0. Anyone knows if there's an update on this issue?

Same issue, Guake seems to "lock" to the monitor where Google Chrome was last active. Focusing another application doesn't seem to have any impact. Currently running Guake 3.10, on Wayland 23.1.2, everything pulled from OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

For what it's worth, you can use Win+click+drag can move it to the other screen. It also seems to fix it, at least temporarily.

The issue still persists on Ubuntu 22.04
