Bug ID: 99411
Summary: Wayland+xwayland break wacom pen support for GTK2
applications
Product: Wayland
Version: unspecified
Hardware: Other
OS: Linux (All)
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: medium
Component: wayland
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
If using GNOME wayland right now, no GTK2 application (this includes GIMP and
xournal, but also just any regular applications & their UIs and buttons and
all) will respond to the wacom pen. Comments on this fedora bug report have
indicated this might be an upstream problem in Wayland or XWayland:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1362206
This means that effectively, on any machine with a wacom pen that is actually
used by the user, Wayland isn't really an option and won't be until either this
is fixed or all GTK2 applications in use migrated to GTK3 - which doesn't
really seem to be realistically happening any time soon.
Therefore, this should be addressed given that I assume standalone X11 is
planned to be phased out eventually in the near future.
(This bug is also the only reason I am still using the GNOME X11 session on my
laptop instead of a new shiny Wayland session.)
