Unfortunately this is a "problem" with gnome apps on Wayland. I recommend switching the zapzap to X11 via Flatseal

To clarify, Zapzap uses PyQt, so some things take a while to arrive and not everything will have the same support as in Qt with C++. It's not a limitation of Python, but of the PyQt library which is maintained by Riverbank.

Is it worth migrating to C++? No. Because it's just a WebApp.

Is X11 outdated and insecure? For Zapzap it makes no difference.

But I want to use Wayland, can I? Yes. You are free to do this. But the limitations are not on the part of the dev. And contributions are always welcome.
