I don’t see a link to logs.i3wm.org. Did you follow https://i3wm.org/docs/debugging.html? (In case you actually provided a link to a logfile, please ignore me.)

Sorry, we can only support the latest major version. Please upgrade from 4.21 to 4.22, verify the bug still exists, and re-open this issue.

I am not sure how Debian and Ubuntu handles upgrades during the LTS phase but clearly 4.22 is the latest supported package upstream. Ubuntu 22.04 ships with 4.20 which is quite outdated by now with at least 2 years.
