When clicking on some maximized or tiled windows, focus on roughly the lower quarter falls to the window behind

[Jacob Godserv]

[ Impact ]

Clicking on some maximized or fullscreen windows may not respond and the clicks fall through to the window behind.

[ Test Plan ]

If auto login is not enabled, enable auto login and reboot. The issue can immediately be observed with first party apps such as the software settings GUI where apt sources, update settings, and GPU drivers are located. Have anything open behind it and then try to use it. Dragging the window to another location outside of the bounds of its default size and position makes it completely unusable because it clicks through to the window behind it no matter where you click. If the desktop is behind it, then the window will be usable but entities on the desktop will be clicked if they're located beneath what you clicked on in the window. This behavior is identical for any affected application.

[ Where problems could occur ]

The bug and the fix appears to be X11-specific, but that can affect Wayland sessions too via Xwayland. The risk here is in the sizing and interactivity of any X11 window. Mistakes in this area can result in other bugs similar to this one where the visual boundaries of a window do not match with its input boundaries.

[ Original description ]

Initially I thought this was an issue with IntelliJ and filed a bug there:
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-323780/Maximizing-the-the-window-sometimes-causes-clicks-on-a-lower-fraction-to-pass-through-to-the-window-behind

But when I had the same issue with GIMP, I realized it's an Ubuntu or GNOME issue instead. I am assuming this is a gnome-shell problem.

Every once in a while, when I maximize or tile (Win+Right) the IntelliJ window, a bottom fraction of the window (somewhere around a quarter) becomes impossible to interact with, with the mouse. Clicking in that lower area will give focus to the thing behind IntelliJ, and if it's a window, raise it to the foreground. if I restore the window so that it is not maximized, the entire window is interactive with the mouse once again.

This also happened with GIMP.

The attached "Screencast" is a recording. I had to crop it to hide personal information. The attached screenshot shows the state of my screen so you have context, with a bright green color used to replace personal information.

For the first 10s of the recording, I simply moused over to show how the cursor changes around a quarter from the bottom of the screen.

For the next 10s, I left click, then move, then left click, then move, until focus changes to Sublime, the window behind IntelliJ.

For the remainder of the video I show that right-clicking and mousing over works fine on the top three quarters, until I reach the bottom again, and then the right click is sent to Sublime.

[Jacob Godserv (fun2program8)]

As mentioned in OP, here is the screenshot showing context of entire desktop, with bright green hiding personal information.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

This is probably a bug in mutter but before we can report it upstream it would be best to try and reproduce the bug without having the unsupported extension '<email address hidden>' installed. So please remove that extension and check the bug still occurs.

[Jacob Godserv (fun2program8)]

I thought I had removed all unsupported extensions.

Here is my extension setup:

# gsettings get org.gnome.shell enabled-extensions
['<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>']
# ls -l ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
total 0
#

The issue still occurred.

[Jacob Godserv (fun2program8)]

Sorry, I should have added that I had seen those extensions as well once the bug report was up, and removed them and re-logged. The issue occurred again today.

[Jacob Godserv (fun2program8)]

Current workaround appears to be:
1. "Un"-maximize the window (aka "restore" the window)
2. Interact with the window at least once.
3. Maximize the window again.

This appears to somehow work around this focus "click through" issue.

[Jacob Godserv (fun2program8)]

Interestingly, this also happened once where the right quarter was clicking through as well. I noticed this when trying to interact with the title bar buttons (minimize, restore, close) and I ended up clicking the title bar buttons of the window behind.

[Jacob Godserv (fun2program8)]

One thing I've found is this is a high frequency occurrence with IntelliJ. I have not seen this issue with the snap versions of Sublime Text or Firefox. I did experience the issue in the snap version of GIMP the one time I had it open.

Another interesting effect is that I am unable to resize the window in the lower corners, even if all the elements within the window are otherwise behaving normally. This is not true of Firefox or Sublime.

In addition, Sublime and Firefox render shadows outside their window borders, whereas the IntelliJ window does not.

I have no idea if any of this is related.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

[Tais P. Hansen (taisph)]

I think this might be similar to what I've experienced lately. It seems like it is definitely triggered after a window resize, both manual and automatic. After the resize, button clicks seems to fall through the window to whatever is behind it. Reproduction is reliable so I can even record a video of it happening if it helps.

This is on Ubuntu 23.10, mutter=45.2-0ubuntu3, Xorg.

[Mikhail B (carolusfirst)]

I'm experiencing the same issue.

Ubuntu 24.04, mutter 46.0-1ubuntu9, gnome-shell 46.0.
Affected programs - Alacritty, Terminator, Konsole (from snap).
Not affected - VS Code, gnome-calculator, vivaldi.

The workaround "restore-interact-maximize" doesn't work for me, unfortunately.

[Mikhail B (carolusfirst)]

There seems to be an existing issue in the upstream:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3451

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

In progress:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3720

[Rich Perry (ricperry1)]

This is a high impact bug. Any idea when the upstream will be available to install for us peasants?

[Alexey Fomin (fominleha)]

I'm having this same issue on Ubuntu 24, All IntelliJ IDEs are affected including Android Studio (which is based on IntelliJ i think?) Didn't notice with anything else. The only fix for me seems to be to minimize all the other windows on the screen, if there is only desktop under current window the issue is not happening

[elect (elect)]

I noticed an improvement after logging out and again in, it might be a worth workaround for the meanwhile

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Fixed in mutter 47... but hopefully it will get cherry-picked into 46.x soon.

[Timur Shaidulin (tim.g.s)]

I'm having the same issue on Ubuntu 24.04.
But the workaround from this issue https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3404 works for me.
I run command:
$ pkill -HUP mutter-x11-fram
and the issue is gone

[bl (blagopoluchie)]

Fresh installation of 24.04 on PC.
1) On "System language" > "Installed languages" settings window, if click on the bottom/button of the window, it hide under other windows to background.
Also in the "Software & update" settings.

Related bugs: 2) windows that cannot be resized with the mouse, like the "Installed languages" settings window and some apps GTK/QT6 ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/2064192 ), and 3) shadows have disappeared for such windows ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/2064177 ).

Logout removes these 3 bugs, but only until reboot.
Disabling autologin seems to help.

[Nibl (graystripe)]

I have this issue with apps like Discord, SQLite DB Browser, VLC, and the software & updates settings where you can configure your repositories and graphics drivers, etc. Appeared after upgrading Ubuntu from 23.10 to 24.04.

It is not exclusive to the lower quarter. What it is is whatever the window's default minimized size and position are. Clicking outside of that, even though the window is maximized, clicks through to whatever is behind it. This includes the desktop, if nothing else is behind it. Trying to resize the window doesn't work because hovering on any of the edges doesn't detect them. Right clicking to resize only allows me to resize horizontally, which doesn't even change the behavior for the resized portion anyway.

[Nibl (graystripe)]

I still have this issue on a fully updated Ubuntu Noble install.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

The fix is not in Noble yet.

[Viktor Foderus (viktor-8)]

This still doesnt work.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Viktor,

If you are using 24.04 then please wait. The fix is not released yet.

If you are using 24.10 then please open a new bug.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

I've been trying for a couple of hours and can't find a way to reproduce this in 24.04 with any commonly available Ubuntu software. So instead of having a fixed test case we will need people here to verify the fix with their own apps, when a fix becomes available...

[Nibl (graystripe)]

Auto login has to be enabled otherwise it won't happen. You can see the behavior with first party apps like the software update window where apt repos are or third party apps like Discord and SQLite DB Browser.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Thanks. Also "Attempts to resize the window will fail" refers to bug 2064177 so we should be careful to not overlap with that.

[Robin Williams (rcwwilliams)]

Whenever I reboot my system, this issue occurs with some of my startup applications, where I click on one application and it affects another that is "behind" it.

I have found that if I quit an offending application from the taskbar and start it up again from the taskbar, it seems to start behaving.

So wanted to share this temporary workaround in case it's helpful to anyone.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

Hello Jacob, or anyone else affected,

[Christoph (ccb-23)]

Hi Timo,

I would like to give you some feedback on this. Could you please give me some hints howto install your proposed packages on ubuntu-24.04?

What did I try so far?

1) add-repository: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ noble-proposed restricted main multiverse universe

2) apt install mutter-common-bin=46.2-1ubuntu0.24.04.1 mutter-common=46.2-1ubuntu0.24.04.1 mutter=46.2-1ubuntu0.24.04.1 libmutter-14-0=46.2-1ubuntu0.24.04.1

[Marcos Casquero (off531)]

Hi all

A bit better with tjaalton solution but sometimes I get the same error with snap, flatpaks and software update graphical utility as well (is it snap?).

Problem continues in my Ubuntu 24.04 noble, gnome 46.0.1, Kernel: x86_64 Linux 6.8.0-36-generic, WM: Mutter, GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745 (nvidia-driver-535 privative).

I did this:

When comes again I do:
❯ pkill -HUP mutter-x11-fram
And problem solves until next reboot.

I don't know which is the trigger at the momment.

This bug still persist, when running wine and i run a application which uses full screen it gets the same behavior after i installed the deb files from Daniel.

[Lukas Gottschall (tuxdwd)]

@Nibl Thank you for your assistance.
I can confirm that my bug is indeed 2064177.
I have updated the report with additional details @2064177.

The issue of "mouse clicks falling through to the window behind" has been resolved with version 46.2-1.
However, the workaround "pkill -HUP mutter-x11-fram" for fixing the resize bug still applies.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Sebastian, you also need to reboot (or at least log in again) after installing those packages.

[joepadmiraal (joep-groovytunes)]

I updated mutter, disabled auto login and rebooted the system.
For a couple of days I thought the click through problem was solved, but today I suddenly saw it again.

I had a maximized Slack window where the bottom left I could click through it, the upper left part did not click through. Making the window not maximized and maximized it again, now the problem is gone.

I have the display scale set to 200% and have fractional scaling enabled.
Also I have 2 4k monitors (laptop plus external usb-c monitor).

I'm running Ubuntu24.04 which was upgraded from 23.10 etc.
Running with X11.

How close to the bottom left? Sounds like it could be bug 2064177.

[Nibl (graystripe)]

I still have the bug as well. It just randomly decided to start doing it again an hour or so ago. The problem with logging out after installing the packages is that you can't really test if that fixed it since logging out and back in is what you do to temporarily work around the issue. So we could be seeing a placebo because the workaround and the action we need to do to apply changes are both the same.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

No problem. Since the OP hasn't declared a result here, we can just say verification failed and keep the bug open. Since the fix came from the upstream release 46.2 there would be no code change in doing so. Just a change to the bug status and documentation at most. So I don't expect this to block the SRU.

[Mark Cockram (ron-harrods)]

mutter --version
mutter 46.2

I am still experiencing the issue.

[Nibl (graystripe)]

This has been fixed upstream, right? Will we be getting that version of Mutter pushed through apt or should I install it manually?

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3720

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

That exact fix is in all versions that start with "46.2" or higher. We get the fix from:

or log a new bug upstream.

[Chris Halse Rogers (raof)]

Re-opening this bug as the SRU did not, in fact, fix it, but we don't want to have to re-verify all the other fixes in this upload.

[Nibl (graystripe)]

I am unsure now. I received updates to a bunch of Mutter-related packages along with Mutter itself either last night or the night before, upgrading it from 6.0 to 6.2. I had tried the 'beta' packages earlier on which did the same but did not fix the issue, so I reverted them back to their originals. This upgrade, however, seems to have resolved the issue. I tried to click through several applications that I can normally reproduce the issue with immediately and the bug is refusing to show itself. Even the bugs where a single click on empty space minimizes the windows of certain applications and hovering over the edges refuses to detect that I'm trying to resize them are gone. I'll report back if clicks fall through again at any point in the future, but for now I can't reproduce it anymore.

[Timur Shaidulin (tim.g.s)]

Noble user here.
I never tried any beta packages and updated mutter packages to 46.2 yesterday and now I have the following situation:
1) bug with edge detect when trying to resize the window — can reproduce
2) any click-through bugs — can't reproduce

But now even autologin disabled doesn't help, only killing mutter-x11-fram helps.

[Nibl (graystripe)]

I still have not encountered this bug again. I think it's safe to say it's fixed now.

[joepadmiraal (joep-groovytunes)]

It could indeed be that my reproduction after the Mutter update is due to bug 2064177.
I'll keep an eye on it and if it happens again (without me changing any settings) report the results here.

I did find I am able to reproduce it reliably by changing the scale setting.
For example when changing it from 200% to 250%, the Gnome settings window and the Files window both have the extra 50% on the right and on the bottom that can be clicked through.
As soon as I resize a window, the problem disappears.
Should I create a new ticket for this?
Since the original description does not mention anything about scaling or changing the scale setting.

[Nibl (graystripe)]

I still have not encountered this bug again. It's probably safe to say that it's gone, unless someone else has encountered it.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Maybe this is the final patch required:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3451#note_2250262

[Nibl (graystripe)]

Are you still encountering the bug? I still haven't seen it again since the 46.2 release.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

I never experienced the bug. I'm just trying to get this closer to a conclusion.

[Nibl (graystripe)]

I'm fairly certain this is already fixed.
