Drop down and context menus flickers on Firefox with WAYLAND enabled on Sway. It fixed on latest Sway version above PR, which is missing on 20.04

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

[Wouter Horré (wouterh)]

There's a backport of the fix to sway 1.5 here:
https://github.com/swaywm/sway/pull/6283

I'll look into publishing a patched packaged to my PPA later this week. It's been a while since I did any ubuntu packaging, so it might take a while to get it right.

This is a debdiff that adds the backported fix for this bug available here:

https://github.com/swaywm/sway/pull/6283

This builds successfully in pbuilder. I have installed the updated package and I can confirm the flickering of firefox's popups is gone.

I have pushed a package with the fix to a PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~wouterh/+archive/ubuntu/sway

Builds are still running, but updated packages should be available there soon.

I've gone ahead and uploaded this as an SRU for Impish (21.10) but this bug could use an SRU template. Could you please add one following the guidance at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#SRU_Bug_Template? Thanks in advance.

This package was incorrectly auto-accepted into impish-proposed by a script. I have subsequently removed it from impish-proposed; since the package has now been accepted and then removed, in order for this SRU process to progress, an SRU template will need to be provided and then someone will need to ping a member of the ~ubuntu-sru team to recover the package from deletion.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

An upload of sway to impish-proposed has been rejected from the upload queue for the following reason: "new upstream version, not for SRU".
