Thank you for the report. I noted this in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/Mutter for future updates
that rely on the exception. Would it be appropriate to add this Test
Plan to future mutter updates that are based on the exception? If so,
please could you amend the wiki? Thanks!

Title:
  Mouse input latency in GNOME 44.1 Wayland sessions is one frame higher
  than it was in 44.0 and earlier

Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in mutter source package in Lunar:

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  Mouse input latency in Wayland sessions is slightly higher in 23.10
  than 22.04 at the moment.

  I might be imagining things and it does feel like only one frame
  higher latency. But experimenting with MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING
  seems to confirm my suspicion:

   BAD:  MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING=auto (the Ubuntu default)
   BAD:  MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING=always
   GOOD: MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING=never

  [ Test Plan ]

  0. Find a machine with an Intel GPU.

  1. Add this to /etc/environment: CLUTTER_DEBUG=frame-timings

  2. Reboot.

  3. Log in to a Wayland session and wait for the desktop to become
  idle.

  4. Also log in via ssh from a remote machine and run:
     journalctl -f /usr/bin/gnome-shell

  5. Over your idle desktop just wiggle the mouse continuously.

  6. In your ssh login, verify that the resulting log messages from
  gnome-shell say "[FRAME_TIMINGS]: Double buffering:" and not
  "[FRAME_TIMINGS]: Triple buffering:" when only the mouse pointer is
  moving.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  In the frame rate and latency of the Ubuntu desktop experience.
