[Wayland] not able to resize window and strange cursor on Gnome Wayland

[Mershl]

https://github.com/flathub/io.github.spacingbat3.webcord/commit/576b5fb38e169ca88e46f3b4b59eb84cfb572fcd enabled Wayland support by default. On Gnome 47 (Wayland session, Fedora 41, AMDGPU) this shows two issues:

• the WebCord window starts rather small and is not resizeableable at any of the four corners or edges
• the cursor is small and pixelated while hovering the WebCord window compared to the default Gnome cursor

I'm not using fractional scaling, or any display scaling for that matter.

That's weird, i don't see that issue although i'm seeing another one with the filepicker.... Did you try removing $HOME/.var/app/io.github.spacingbat3.webcord/config/WebCord/windowState.json , before reloading the app ?

[SpidFightFR]

If that doesn't work try disabling fallback-x11, using either the cli or a tool like flatseal, if you're on wayland only ?

Removing windowState before reloading does not seem to affect the two issues.

Disabling fallback-x11 does not seem to affect the two issues.

if you're on wayland only ?

This is on Fedora 41 Workstation (Gnome). Xwayland is available, but there's no longer an Xorg session.

For completeness: disabling the socket wayland again (basically reverting the commit) fixes both issues.

By doing that you stick with xwayland instead of a native wayland execution. I wouldn't advise it.

I agree in general, though on Fedora 41 / Gnome 47 WebCord Flatpak is not practically useable while the wayland socket is enabled.

I doubt it's a problem caused by wayland, it works nicely on wayland on my side, even with the update.

I'd rather think it's a problem caused by gnome or it's a webcord problem directly. Please make sure webcord has read-only access to your cursors and themes directories.

If that solves the issue then i'll consider adsing those to the flatpak.

576b5fb enabled Wayland support by default. On Gnome 47 (Wayland session, Fedora 41, AMDGPU) this shows two issues:

Commit author here, can confirm that wayland-native Webcord on Gnome 47 cannot resize window, and cursor size is different from outside of it. I tested wayland Webcord on Plasma and it worked without issue when creating the PR, but didn't test on Gnome.

Can you try copying /usr/share/icons to ~/.local/share and override --filesystem=xdg-data/icons:ro and see if cursor appearance can be fixed? That worked for me but window still cannot resize.

EDIT: Can you try https://github.com/flathub/io.github.spacingbat3.webcord/pull/98 to see whether the cursor problem can be fixed by this?

[Mershl]

EDIT: Can you try https://github.com/flathub/io.github.spacingbat3.webcord/pull/98 to see whether the cursor problem can be fixed by this?

can confirm, #98 fixes the cursor issue on Fedora 41, Gnome Wayland

[SpidFightFR]

https://github.com/flathub/io.github.spacingbat3.webcord/pull/98 merged. It will be up in a few moments.

[Mershl]

The window resize issue is not affected by #98. The window cannot be resized and remains its initial size on Gnome Wayland.

[SpidFightFR]

The window resize issue is not affected by #98. The window cannot be resized and remains its initial size on Gnome Wayland.

hard to say that way. Are you able to launch webcord via the terminal, and record the issue please ? or give us log for that matter ?

[SpidFightFR]

At least logs, they are the only way i can help you :sweat_smile:

[Mershl]

Are you able to launch webcord via the terminal, and record the issue please ?

The window edges and corners are not grabable when starting Webcord in Native Wayland mode on Gnome Wayland. The mouse cursor doesn't turn into the grab icon. clicking and dragging anyway does not show any reaction.

This behaviour was confirmed by @j20001970 as well. KDE Wayland is not affected by this issue. It affects only Gnome Wayland.

I'm currently trying to search for an answer. In the meantime, may you try running this command please:

flatpak run io.github.spacingbat3.webcord --ignore-gpu-blocklist --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform,VaapiVideoDecoder,WebRTCPipeWireCapturer,smooth-scrolling,gpu-rasterization,zero-copy --ozone-platform=wayland

(it's the one i use with recommended settings for wayland, it will prolly not resolve your issue but while i search for an answer, it will minimize possible bugs while debugging)

After looking at your logs, nothing's weird on your side that's for sure. I need to make sure you indeed disabled both x11 and x11-fallback permissions in flatseal or any tools you use for handling permissions. If so, may you try uninstalling webcord (you don't need to purge the files), then reinstalling the test branch i currently use here:

flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/135881/io.github.spacingbat3.webcord.flatpakref

I noticed weird behaviors on the latest release of webcord, upstream is aware of it, the latest release should work but it would be a neat way to test if it's a release issue.

If not, it can only mean it's related to the run.sh script, to which i'll make change if needed.

please keep me in touch. :v:

[SpidFightFR]

Alright last message for today on my side (i'll continue to researches tomorrow).

Here is the link to the previous version of the run.sh script, which the flatpak uses in order to launch webcord.

It's dirty but try replacing the one located in $HOME/.local/share/flatpak/app/io.github.spacingbat3.webcord/<arch>/<branch>/<shasum>/files/bin/run.sh with the one provided in the link. (after making a backup of the original one, just in case)

If it solves the issue, i'll just put a check for gnome desktops with a fix (more or less dirty depending on what answers i got).

If the original script doesn't work despite all the tests stated above, then i have no other choice, but i can't help you there.

[Mershl]

please keep me in touch.

But of course, thank you for your excellent support @SpidFightFR

I need to make sure you indeed disabled both x11 and x11-fallback permissions in flatseal or any tools you use for handling permissions.

I reset all changes just to be sure and disabled only x11 and x11-fallback via Flatseal. The Gnome debugging tools (lg) also confirm that Webcord produces a Wayland native window.

The resize issue is not affected by the flags. The log does not show additional hints.

dangit, that's crazy...! try completely purging webcord and re-installing the latest release again, then try again with the script method, please ? *just in case, if needed:

flatpak uninstall --delete-data io.github.spacingbat3.webcord

Right now, it's pretty bad, it means that even with the state of Webcord before the 2 commits (for the version bump and the wayland fix) webcord is broken... :/

[SpidFightFR]

Also which version of gnome do you use please ?

[SpidFightFR]

If nothing works, try purging webcord (again - sorry) and try up this build please :

flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/135875/io.github.spacingbat3.webcord.flatpakref

(the build i tried as an attempt to fix another issue i got, but unrelated to yours, it reverts https://github.com/flathub/io.github.spacingbat3.webcord/commit/576b5fb38e169ca88e46f3b4b59eb84cfb572fcd in the built app itself (purging what seems to be the root cause of your issue).

latest flathub webcord + linked run.sh does not affect the Gnome Wayland resize issue.

Also which version of gnome do you use please ?

Gnome 47.0 (Fedora Workstation 41)

If nothing works, try purging webcord (again - sorry) and try up this build please :

flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/135875/io.github.spacingbat3.webcord.flatpakref

(the build i tried as an attempt to fix another issue i got, but unrelated to yours, it reverts 576b5fb in the built app itself (purging what seems to be the root cause of your issue).

$ flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/135875/io.github.spacingbat3.webcord.flatpakref

Here is the link to the previous version of the run.sh script, which the flatpak uses in order to launch webcord. It's dirty but try replacing the one located in $HOME/.local/share/flatpak/app/io.github.spacingbat3.webcord////files/bin/run.sh with the one provided in the link. (after making a backup of the original one, just in case)

$ cp ~/Downloads/run.sh ~/.local/share/flatpak/app/io.github.spacingbat3.webcord/x86_64/test/dc2bfde5d3ad6974c58ba07a97e8662f5d61c0aead4fc3b0c87fd41055a85ca5/files/bin/run.sh

sorry @SpidFightFR. this does not show an effect on the resize issue on Gnome Wayland.

dangit, that's crazy...! try completely purging webcord and re-installing the latest release again, then try again with the script method, please ? *just in case, if needed:

flatpak uninstall --delete-data io.github.spacingbat3.webcord

Right now, it's pretty bad, it means that even with the state of Webcord before the 2 commits (for the version bump and the wayland fix) webcord is broken... :/

Noted It looks bad ngl, according to my observations we slowly tend on a gnome issue...

The webcord client doesn't even see you operating the window that's weird...

Does not show an effect on the resize issue on Gnome Wayland.

This might very well be a Gnome issue. Unfortunately I don't have older Gnome releases than 47 available right now for testing.

If we could reproduce the bug in non-flatpak environment, I think it's better to report this problem upstream to have better discussion.

I tried to run wayland-native webcord with appimage-extracted files directly on Gnome 47 and non-resizeable window problem persists, @Mershl can you try to see if you have the same situation?

currently that's what makes the most sense to me. I observed that webcord doesn't register the "gabbing" mechanism, i guess it's a WM issue, if i had to guess, it would be linked to Mutter or something.

Sorry for the delay. non-flatpak Webcord launched with --ignore-gpu-blocklist --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform,VaapiVideoDecoder,WebRTCPipeWireCapturer,smooth-scrolling,gpu-rasterization,zero-copy --ozone-platform=wayland on Gnome 47 Wayland does not show the cursor issue, but the resize issue is identical to flatpak Webcord.

the cursor issue wasn't fixed on flatpak by https://github.com/flathub/io.github.spacingbat3.webcord/pull/98 ?

[SpidFightFR]

As for the resizing issue, if it's reproducible on a non-flatpak install, then it's either an upstream webcord issue, or a gnome (mutter) issue...

the cursor issue wasn't fixed on flatpak by #98 ?

The cursor issue was fixed by #98 for flatpak Webcord, and is not present to begin with in non-flatpak Webcord.
