Input trapped in Proton-layered applications
Hello everyone, before addressing the problem, here's my rig just in case:
MSI MPG B650I EDGE WIFI
AMD R5 9600X
AMD RX9060XT
bazzite-deck:testing latest
I'm having problem in Steam Gaming Mode, where when I launch a flatpak application and proton-layered application (in this case, Vesktop and any Windows game), whenever I switch to Vesktop, all of my inputs (both controller and KBM) are trapped in the game, meaning I can´t navigate Vesktop while the game is running. Is this a common issue, if so, is there any workaround for this problem?

UPDATE: I've figured out why mouse input is trapped in the first launched proton-layered games, turns out it's kind of Wayland issue? I tried using GE-Proton9.27 with XWayland as the display server, and now mouse input is not solely focused in proton-layered game, I can navigate Discord again.

UPDATE: So it seems only mouse input are trapped in the first launched proton-layered app, meaning controller and keyboard works fine on the other app (flatpak, AppImage, proton-layered Windows)
