Mouse cursor stuck in some apps #20

Open steinano opened 3 years ago

steinano commented 3 years ago

I installed Bitwig, an audio application that works in Crostini except audio glitches. In Brioche the audio works perfectly but the mouse cursor crashes/gets stuck after a couple of minutes at select or point/move, so that nothing can be clicked anymore. The only way is to kill the app. This happens both with touchpad and external mouse. It doesn't happen in Cristoni.

Here is a photo to show that the select text cursor is present when hovering over window, so I can't click any of the buttons. (needed photo of screen as screenshot not possible to show the cursor)

Using Brioche with ubuntu (also tried debian sid with same result).

Try adding "GDK_BACKEND=wayland" before the app name in the command to launch the app

I have since reinstalled chromeos and brunch, and it seems to not happen on the new install, also without adding "GDK_BACKEND=wayland". However using wayland with other apps like gnome-text-editor helps with the appearance, so thanks for that advice. Is there a way to launch the desktop with wayland?
