Switching back to X11 fixed the issue.

Perhaps this should be a separate bug but azureus really exhibits the bugs/missing functionality in Wayland:

1) The right mouse button menu pops up in a random location to the upper left of the screen and is corrrupted. It is impossible to do the show details operation, which is about the most common user interaction with azureus.

2) When you have more torrents than you can fit in the viewport, there is supposed to be a scrollbar. With Wayland it is missing. At least part of one torrent in your list is cut off, but it's impossible to know how many are cut off because there is no scrollbar.

3) The tabs at the bottom of the screen General, Sources, Peers, etc., are completely missing. This functionality is critical to use azureus.

4) Simply scroll up and down a few times with your mouse's wheel. The viewport gets horribly corrupted quite easily.

I have nothing against Wayland, but even though it's taken many, many years to arrive on the scene, it still isn't ready for production. To be honest, azureus is a crappy app, but I've been using it for a decade. It does what I need it to do. Since it's written in Java it puts the graphical environment through its paces and it's great at finding implementation bugs.
