does not work on Mint 21.1 - the issue is with Xephyr and how it reads the mouse and kbd
Steps to Reproduce
Using --x11=xephyr will generate input errors for /dev/input/...
See the discussion in link - not sure if the startup of Xephyr can be changed by firejail as to use a different input method - looking at the Xephyr man page the only option that I can see is -no-host-grab - not sure if that would work or if it offers a secure solution.
Is there another way to have good X11 app isolation ?
Expected behavior
Kbd and mouse input working correctly.
Actual behavior
The mouse and kbd do not work.
Behavior without a profile
--noprofile does not change the issue.
Environment
Linux distribution and version Mint 21.1 Cinnamon
Firejail version: tried 0.9.66 (default with the OS) and 0.9.70 from ppa:deki/firejail
Checklist
[ ] The issues is caused by firejail (i.e. running the program by path (e.g. /usr/bin/vlc) "fixes" it).
[ x] I can reproduce the issue without custom modifications (e.g. globals.local).
[ ] The program has a profile. (If not, request one in https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1139)
[ ] The profile (and redirect profile if exists) hasn't already been fixed upstream.
[ x] I have performed a short search for similar issues (to avoid opening a duplicate).
[ ] I'm aware of browser-allow-drm yes/browser-disable-u2f no in firejail.config to allow DRM/U2F in browsers.
[ ] I used --profile=PROFILENAME to set the right profile. (Only relevant for AppImages)
