Behavior changed for middle click window title in gnome #231292

Open lonix1 opened 1 month ago

lonix1 commented 1 month ago

ENVIRONMENT: linux ubuntu 24.04 gnome 46.0 (with wayland) vscode 1.94.2

WHAT USED TO WORK: I use the mouse middle click (on a window's titlebar) to lower the window - so I can easily cycle through open windows. This setting is set via the shell, or the gnome tweaks tool.

I did not set "window.titleBarStyle".

HOW IT WORKS NOW: That changed in either the latest update or when upgrading to gnome 46. It doesn't honor that gnome setting anymore. So a middle click on the vscode titlebar does nothing.

This is identical to a bug from a few years ago, but since resolved. Maybe there's a similar resolution this time too.

@deepak could this be caused by an electron update?

Thanks for raising this one. I asked the question about it on Launchpad but it expired with no responses: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/818820

When I boot to Wayland, it works as expected. However, I need to use Gnome as some apps as stated in that question do not work on Wayland.

Hopefully raising the bug here will get better traction...

Thanks for adding your use case. For me, it doesn't work on Wayland. (Haven't tried in X11 yet).

Update: it doesn't work in X11 either.

@ak2766 I opened a bug issue at the electron repo. Please chime in there if you have repro ideas.

If this is a confirmed regression, it would help to know which change caused it. We maintain a node.js based CLI tool vscode-bisect that automatically downloads and runs previous VS Code insiders and asks for each build if the issue reproduces. It takes up to 8 steps to find exactly the build that caused the regression.

Steps:

install node.js (if not yet done)
npx --yes @vscode/vscode-bisect@latest
follow the instructions until you found the offending build (its fine to leave the commit empty)
report back the commit range in this issue

Thanks!

Looks like this is a confirmed bug in Gnome: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2778
