Wezterm does not have window decorations/titlebar on Mutter/Wayland

[rishubn]

What Operating System(s) are you seeing this problem on?

Linux Wayland

Which Wayland compositor or X11 Window manager(s) are you using?

Mutter

WezTerm version

20240204-213233-b03b833a

Did you try the latest nightly build to see if the issue is better (or worse!) than your current version?

Yes, and I updated the version box above to show the version of the nightly that I tried

Describe the bug

(Ubuntu 22.04) On wayland, wezterm spawns without window decorations. It cannot be resized or dragged with the mouse like other windows. This does not appear when I log in with X11. The cursor also changes color and shape when hovering over the wezterm window

Below is a gtk app next to wezterm, notice the missing header

To Reproduce

No response

Configuration

rnagpal@ipn078:~$ cat .config/wezterm/wezterm.lua
-- Pull in the wezterm API
local wezterm = require 'wezterm'

-- This table will hold the configuration.
local config = {}

-- In newer versions of wezterm, use the config_builder which will
-- help provide clearer error messages
if wezterm.config_builder then
  config = wezterm.config_builder()
end

-- This is where you actually apply your config choices

-- For example, changing the color scheme:
config.color_scheme = 'tokyonight-storm'
config.enable_scroll_bar = true
config.window_background_opacity = 0.9
config.default_cursor_style = "SteadyBar"
config.window_decorations = "TITLE | RESIZE"
-- and finally, return the configuration to wezterm

return config

Expected Behavior

Have the same style and functionality as other windows in wayland

The log indicates the window gets destroyed, however it is still usable

Anything else?

[wez]

Wayland support is currently being re-implemented in main, this is an outstanding issue around that

[sebakri]

Had the same problem under Fedora 40. As a workaround I "disabled wayland" in wezterm's config.

config.enable_wayland = false

Hope this helps for now

Still seeing this bug with the GNOME 47 Wayland session. Using Wezterm built today from git head.

[sandikata]

Same issue for me.

Gentoo, Gnome 47, Mutter 47 -> Wayland

Latest git build

Sadly this workaround is a no go on high-dpi displays with fractional scaling in wayland. e.g. in gnome. The enable_wayland just produces badly blurred font rendering in this scenario.
