Console: first "/" after opening the console is lost.

[ckol]

Immediately after opening the console window when a "/" is typed to issue a command,
the "/" doesn't get into the console. A second "/" then appears as expected.
OS: Arch Linux (latest). xorg, xfce4.

Does this happen with something else than xorg too?

I cannot test that. Have unv. only on this one Linux System up and running. If you point me to source code, I can try to find out more. Greets, Clemens

One simple way to test that with a wayland compositor could be to

• install cage (pacman -S cage I guess)
• go to a tty (using e.g. ctrl-alt-f3)
• login as your regular user
• run env SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland cage -- unvanquished in that tty
• [do the test inside unvanquished]

I'm not sure which command is used to start Unv for you. It may be unvanquished if you used the AUR or something such as .local/share/unvanquished/daemon if you used the installer, just make sure to put cage -- before.

If your session is natively wayland, running the game with the SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland environment variable is enough to make it run natively.

[sweet235]

The easy (and bloaty) way to try wayland would be to install kde or gnome, and choose wayland in the session chooser menu at login.

FYI, this alone is not enough. Even if your session is native, Daemon will still run in xwayland. You must explicitly run it with the SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland variable.

@cu-kai thanks, forgot about that. I've updated my answer accordingly.

I can't reproduce this with X-based xfce. I tried on master and with the 0.55.2 release.

I will assume this has been fixed by now, whether on the side of Daemon, SDL, or xfce. Reopen if you can still reproduce the bug.
