Bemenu first pointer buttons ignored

[stacyharper]

Hey there,

I'm investigating why bemenu ignore the first buttons, and it looks like the problems comes from missing events from the compositor:

reproduce:

• place your cursor where bemenu will appears
• open a menu with a terminal seq 1 4 | WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 bemenu
• without moving the mouse, press down then up -> nothing happen
• still without moving the mouse, press down then up -> bemenu react and select the entry

Please fill out the following:

• Sway Version:

  • sway version 1.10-dev-28fd7358 (Jul 9 2024, branch 'master')

• Debug Log:

I added some printf flags on the bemenu code base:

Here the logs from bemenu:

L.220 and L.224 is when I first clicked the buttons.

We note that we do not receive wl_pointer#13.button, only wl_pointer#13.enter.

Any clue on what is happening? Is there something wrong on the compositor side? Or is it an expected behavior somehow?

wev seems to receive correctly the first events. But maybe the fact it is a xdg window surface helps.

Maybe there is a problem specifically to the layer shell surfaces?
