Open a window
, resize it
A

This vaguely sounds like one thing that happened to me with steam one time as weird as it sounds
(hilariously it was also without the patches
)
A
Astral
•
5/2/24, 12:31 AM
But it
's bizarre because I cannot replicate this issue
A
Astral
•
5/2/24, 12:31 AM
I swapped in xwayland scaling patches on my end and no issues
A
Astral
•
5/2/24, 12:31 AM
Granted I used a different copr

K

5/2/24, 12:31 AM
I get this behavior with the copr you linked and with me creating a
.patch from the MR
A
Astral
•
5/2/24, 12:32 AM
Hmm
A
Astral

5/2/24, 12:32 AM
So you
're swapping out specifically gnome
-settings
-daemon
, mutter and mutter
-common correct
?
K
Kyle Gospo
OP
•
5/2/24, 12:32 AM
mutter
& mutter
-common
, did not touch settings but that
's only resposible for exposing the configurable bits for this
A

Settings daemon needs to be swapped out to allow for enabling the flag

A
Astral
•
5/2/24, 12:33 AM
The settings daemon also has some other important bits
A
Astral
•
5/2/24, 12:33 AM
Like it exposes part of the interface xwayland apps use to see the screen scale

•
5/2/24, 12:33 AM
So swap it in just in case
A
Astral
•
5/2/24, 12:34 AM
For me it didn
't work right without it
A

5/2/24, 12:34 AM
You need all 3

The lack of gnome
-settings
-daemon was what was causing my cursor issues

A
Astral
