Please report issues with X11 apps to xwayland-satellite instead of niri: https://github.com/Supreeeme/xwayland-satellite/issues
=> I don't think it is an issue with xwayland-satellite, but I am sorry if it is.
I am using niri git version that I compiled myself with the new xwayland-satellite support built-in.
Everything seems to be running smooth, but with the two apps below, there is a layout issue:
On Virtualbox, with a windows guest, the bottom bar is not accessible, and on some programs, some popup cannot be clicked.
On burp, same behavior, the taskbar at the bottom cannot be clicked. One way to fix it on this one is to put it in floating mode, resize it a little bit, and then the button can be clicked without any issues.
In order to temporary fix the issue, I start the command xwayland-satellite :0, and then I start virtualbox and burp with the env DISPLAY=:0.
By the way, I can't start the burp installer with sudo also. Starting the command without sudo works.
