interactive resizes window jumps out of screen

[Christian Rauch]

Interactively resizing a Wayland window while it resizes itself results in the window jumping out of the screen. This happens on GNOME Shell and pure mutter on the 3.36 branch but has been resolved on newer versions (3.37.1 onwards).

See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1700 for the mutter upstream bug report.

I wonder if this is the same as bug 1922034, just a different release...

[Christian Rauch (christianrauch)]

bug 1922034 is gnome-terminal specific. The upstream issue was https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1723.

But this bug is generic for any Wayland client. And it also has been fixed in the 3.38 release.

Now, this very issue is tagged "fixed-in-3.36.8" which is not correct I think. At least for me, I still see this issue on the latest 3.36 release in the upstream branch "gnome-3-36".
Can someone confirm that this is resolved in 3.36.9? Otherwise, this issue should stay open.
