Cursor escaping even in full-screen

[VeilSilence]

• OS: Arch linux
• Hyprland ( wlroots ) based compositor
• GPU: Nvidia 3090 RTX
• Driver: 550.54.14-1
• Gamescope commit: e48bfc8
• Software cursor enabled coz nvidia.
  After moving to wayland backend, gamescope finally works with nvidia for me. It even eliminates glitches because of lacking implicit sync in nvidia driver.
  However, my mouse escaping in all the games I tested with dual monitors.
  Side note: In dota for example, if i'm trying to set "advanced setting" "Display mode: Desktop-friendly Fullscreen" image freezes in dota with these errors:

Does running gamescope with: ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=0 gamescope <other params> -- <program>
change anything?

[VeilSilence]

ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=0 gamescope -w 2560 -h 1440 -f glxgears for example. Gamescope make glxgears fullscreen on my monitor, but mouse still escaping monitor easily
Same for dota 2.

hmm does it also happen when not fullscreened?

[VeilSilence]

Same. Here video for example. I can try sway if needed.

Well, cursor escaping on glxgears is expected -- it doesn't hide the cursor, which we interpret as going into 'grab'/relative mode.

You can --force-grab-cursor if you want that behaviour always.

[VeilSilence]

Pardon for bad example then.
Dota 2. Steam launch option gamescope -w 2560 -h 1440 -f --force-grab-cursor gamemoderun mangohud %command%
Not sure how to properly record two monitors at same time, so sorry for that.

With --force-grab-cursor cursor moves slowly in dota 2.
Without gamescope, dota 2 with "Desktop friendly fullscreen" can hold cursor in game, but xwayland apps unusable atm on nvidia.

[misyltoad]

Am not able to reproduce here on labwc or Plasma Wayland... Perhaps this is a Hyprland bug with cursor locking?

[VeilSilence]

Tested on sway and yea, with --force-grab-cursor even in glxgears cursor locked on gamescope, so i'm going to do issue on Hyprland then.
One last thing before I close this issue.
Should i make a separate issue of this bug, where dota is freezing when i'm trying to set "Desktop Friendly-Desktop"?

after that, i see this errors endlessly.

Does it happen when you launch dota + gamescope with ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=0 gamescope ... ?

Just tested and no, when i click apply, dota working like intended. Note that i tested this behavior on plasma 6. Same thing.
I also tested cursor escaping in plasma 6 and sway. Dota 2 again with gamescope --params %command%. Cursor escaping my monitor in menu/game in both cases. With --force-grab-cursor it stays in dota 2 boundaries in both compositors.

Didn't seem entirely clear from your reply, but can you confirm that you don't experience freezing w/ "Desktop Friendly-Desktop" if you run with ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=0?
Because if so, then the freezing problem is probably the same issue as w/ #1091
Which Joshua-Ashton is working on addressing

[VeilSilence]

Yes, in ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=0 works as intended.
Thanks for the assistance.

That makes nooo sense, what? That doesn't change anything about what we do with the cursor...

To clarify: ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=0 only fixing that you can change in dota 2 monitor settings. Like you can change resolution and set "Desktop Friendly Fullscreen", without making game freeze.
Another bug is that cursor leaving game. ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=0 not fixing this. --force-grab-cursor helps in plasma and wlroots for me.
I just reported two bugs in same thread, sorry for confusion.
