@david braun,

1. Please notice that this bug report is a duplicate of bug #1712089. The developers will probably focus on that bug report, not this one.

2. See this link for more details on how to work around this issue with Wayland,

3. If I understand correctly, the next version of Ubuntu, 18.04 LTS will not use Wayland as standard. You can test how it works (and take part in debugging to help the development team). The daily iso file is found at the ISO testing tracker,
