Bug Description

Impact
------
There is a new bugfix release in the stable 42 series. This is a bigger update with lots of bugfixes as the first bugfix release in the 42 series.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/blob/42.1/NEWS

Test Case
---------
sudo apt install budgie-desktop gnome-session gnome-shell-extensions
Install the update.
Log out.
Select your name on the login screen.
Click the gear button to choose a session to log in to.
Finish logging in.

Verify that things continue to work well for all these sessions:
Budgie
GNOME
GNOME Classic
Ubuntu
Ubuntu on Xorg

(There are more specific test cases for some of the other bugs fixed with this update.)

What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
Mutter is an essential component of the default Ubuntu desktop and for the desktop used by Ubuntu Budgie.

A severe enough bug could mean that people are unable to use their desktop version of Ubuntu.

Smaller bugs could interrupt people's workflows.

mutter is part of GNOME Core and is included in the GNOME micro release exception

Other Info
----------
This update should not reach jammy-updates until these updates are fully phased in jammy-updates to avoid a known testview scrolling bug in apps like gedit and gnome-text-editor

Hello Jeremy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted mutter into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/42.1-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Also using Ubuntu Budgie 22.04

I have also been testing this on two separate laptops - both are Thinkpad T560, one with Intel, one with Nvidia graphics. Ran similar tests to Mauro with no issues found.
