@Gottox you tested it before didn’t you? Apparently it "worked great", so I assume this problem didn’t occur to you.

If that’s in fact the case, there might be some easy fix or this.

Is this happening to you? Please fill the issue template. I have a dual screen setup with Intel integrated graphics like in the issue you posted and I didn't notice this happening.

[Gottox]

Can't reproduce here. Can you give more information about your setup?

[Gottox]

Also please use proper titles. This has only clickbait level qualities 😝

My problem is exactly the one described in gnome.
A not completely stable package. It is not advisable to update.
Testing and seeing their behavior in beta is a better idea, for some users to work and others not.

[Gottox]

Sorry, but I can't help if I can't reproduce the issue. Upstream has a hard time too. Could you provide any more informations?

[Gottox]

@darmon77 Could you try to start with a fresh .config directory and see if the issue is still present?

[Gottox]

Also does this happen with Xorg too?

[notthewave]

Some basic system info provided by neofetch 😜

I’m on musl

Issue was also present on Xorg after Xorg-fonts and driver install.

Removed everything (inc contents of $HOME). Starting with:
base-system
grub
opendoas

Will install:
Gnome
Mesa
Mesa-intel-dri
lf

TEST:
Wayland issue present.
...
Install:
Gnome-apps

TEST2:
Wayland issue present.
...
Next up Xorg

Install:
Xorg

Result: same issue on Xorg
...

Monitor swap:
1680x1050

Still...

Gottox do you have a glibc system?

[notthewave]

Since I have a Tablet:
Pen and Touch input misbehave as well...

[darmon77]

It sure is a gnome-shell problem with libinput, I'm going to do the tests.
This should have been seen in testing before the update.

[paper42]

@notthewave I have thinkpad x220 (without touch) and glibc. @darmon77 do you have musl too? The touch input was ok when I was testing gnome 40 before it was merged, I don't have my touchscreen laptop right now.

[notthewave]

So I installed libinput-gestures or whatever and I behaves differently. And I can’t map monitors correctly anymore.

[darmon77]

@paper42 my anomalous behavior is in musl.
I am installing two gnome dbg (glibc & musl) to reproduce the error.
I will comment on everything necessary

[Gottox]

Thanks for the report. I'm currently guessing it's bug that is triggered on musl systems. Nevertheless, I can't see why yet.

[Gottox]

Update: I'm able to reproduce the issue now. Afaics, the bug should be somewhere in gnome-shell or mutter. First I suspected gtk4, but running the gtk4 demo doesn't result in janky behavior.
