Many thanks to Pascal in comment #3 - switching back to X11 seems to fix this and several other minor annoyances with 22.04. It seems Wayland is not reliable and should be selectable as an option when upgrading from 20.04 rather than being imposed as a default.

Eclipse also seems to be much faster (as it used to be) using X11

Perhaps the enforced change to Wayland was a fundamental mistake until it has been better tested in the real world and could be reverted in the next release. Since the option is available on the user login screen (the gear icon once the password box is visible it should be easy to make it an upgrade option with appropriate warning that some existing applications may become unstable..

Many users (like me) probably never see the login screen as they have only one user on the device and it boots straight into that user - I have never used the logout screen before, always just power off. So that is going to be another usability annoyance if I have to logout after power off every time to switch to X11 - unless I permanently disable Wayland which begs the question what is the point of it.
