It works fine on weston, so it's inlikely an Xwayland issue. Actually, I suspect this is a weakness in the application, because it seems to me that its maps a fullscreen override redirect window and relies on an active keyboard grab to capture all key presses for the password. But Wayland has no grabs, so that cannot work in Wayland/Xwayland (whereas it does in plain X). I think this is the same as <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752956">https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752956</a></pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
