Thank you for filing this bug and make Ubuntu better!

Can you try hexchat and gimp too, see if you can reproduce that?

[Igerko (igerko)]

It affects also teams-for-linux and spotify windows. Relogging fixes the issue. Also when the bug is present and I'm using teams for example and I click on something, then "bugged" window goes in background and "background" application is focused.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[lotuspsychje (lotuspsychje)]

Probably related to my hexchat & gimp bug; https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hexchat/+bug/2061132

I can reproduce it with hexchat, gimp, spotify, teams-for-linux on wayland ubuntu desktop 24.04

When maximizing the windows, there seem to be a freeze of the window too

[David (david431)]

I have the same problem, can't resize any windows tested with Krita and VSCodium. I don't know if this is related, but sometimes the mouse clicks through the windows to the window below the current one. (only for those that don't resize) basically unusable

[lotuspsychje (lotuspsychje)]

@David #6

I can also reproduce that on krita & codium snap

[lotuspsychje (lotuspsychje)]

Tested all the above apps on both wayland + xorg

on a logout, log back into gnome the windows can be resized again

on a fresh reboot the bug returns windows cannot be resized anymore

[Collin Hays (legoman407)]

Too add on to the issue being resolved after signing out and logging back in. I was using the automatic login option. If I disable the automatic login option, the issue is no longer present.

Additionally this issue affects every application which I've tried which uses Electron and a random assortment of others.

[David (david431)]

In my test all applications have this problem only GTK4 and libadwaita do not, maybe also GTK3?
Firefox with CSD works, but sub-windows without CSD don't work. Maybe this is related to SSD

[rue (ruenoak)]

HI I tested this also as I was not having the issues described at the time.
Working with lotuspsychje I set my login to 'Autologin' rebooted and then I had the resize bug.

Applications affected don't support CLD and some are Electron apps.
Gimp, Hexchat, Spotify, Discord, Teams

One thing I noticed was when these apps were behaving correctly, they had a slight drop shadow around them.
On reboot and autologin enabled that drop shadow was do longer there and I could not resize the windows.

Is this also related to the Compositor? Maybe something is not starting when Autologin is enabled.

[David (david431)]

I don't use Autologin and have the same problem

[Seyeong Kim (seyeongkim)]

mattermost and element desktop app also has the same issue

mattermost-desktop --ozone-platform=wayland

at least I can resize but UI is not default.
