Unreal engine's popup windows and context menus don't work on sway. #8304

Unreal engine works horribly under sway. The right click context menus appear and then disappear after a frame. The drop-downs like File, Edit, etc require LMB to be held to use them. None of the pop-up dialogs are interactable. I switched to i3 and also tried cinnamon and it works perfectly under both. One of my coworkers also had to switch. I believe this is a sway issue and not a wayland issue.

I just googled "unreal engine for wayland" and this post on their forums suggests it currently doesn't work under Wayland. i3 is xorg.

In fact people from other Wayland compositors are reporting issues as late as 4 days ago.

I wouldn't be so quick to blame Sway without a modicum of evidence.

On X11/cinnamon unreal works fine. I then tried switching to i3/X11 and started getting the exact same issues again. So it's not specific to wayland. believe it's a sway/i3 related issue, maybe related to how unreal handles popup windows or window focus or something.

NVM. I was still on sway when I thought I was on i3. Works great on i3. Might just be a wayland thing then. :)
