OK, if you think that Wayland is responsible for the but, then:
1: this but must be upstreamed to the developers of the Wayland protocol
2: and this bug is also a bug of the "21.04 release as a whole", since
it is a bug that it makes this buggy Wayland as default.
I understand that this bug
"Although dragging could be done by relative movements. Setting an
absolute position does appear to be impossible in Wayland."
If it was really impossibble, then how the Gnome shell or any window
manager can position *itself*?
We see, that the diverse components of the diverse window managers
The definition of "confirmed" is that "Verified by someone other than the
reporter.", hence in case of "gnome-terminal" it was wrong to remove the

"gnome-terminal" is affected, and hence it is totally right, that the
The bug is clearly stated, reproducible and confirmed by others as well.
Hence it can not be ONLY "invalid + opinion + opinion" at 3 packages,
and no package is mentioned with "new" or "confirmed".
It is acceptable, if someone's opinion is that "mutter is not new but
