I have the exact same issue as described by original report. Two windows of the browser on different workspaces, only happens when I use Wayland session. I collected more data on this:
Release: Ubuntu Noble Numbat 24.04 and Ubuntu Mantic Minotaur 23.10 Hardware: Dell Inspiron-16-Plus-7620, i7-12700H, 32GB RAM. Browsers tested: Vivaldi (deb), Brave (deb), Brave (snap), Chromium (snap) As suggested by @vanvugt , I switched one browser setting, and it immediately solved the issue for me on all browsers affected. chrome://flags/#ozone-platform-hint Changed from default (always use x11), to auto (try wayland first, fallback to x11). It is quite easy to check that the setting is applied, by running this on the browser: chrome://gpu/ Searching the text for "ozone" I can see the following: --ozone-platform-hint=auto --ozone-platform=wayland I hope this helps. Please let me know if further testing is required. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xwayland in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1906792 Title: Chromium tabs freeze with two windows on Wayland (Xwayland) Status in Mutter: New Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in xwayland package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Original description: When using Chromium (snap) on Wayland (gnome-session), if I keep two windows open on different workspaces, sometimes the current tab becomes unusable as it freezes or is super-slow. This usually happens with specific pages open, like youtube, mattermost, google drive. Minimizing one of the two windows makes the other work fine. The issues does not happen if both windows are on the same workspace. I've seen this issue in 20.04 and 20.10, always on Wayland sessions. The same behavior doesn't happen on a plain X11 session. --- Updates: As for #1916458 this behaviour may happen also on the same workspace and with Google Chrome ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.10 Package: gnome-shell 3.38.1-1ubuntu1.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.8.0-29.31-generic 5.8.14 Uname: Linux 5.8.0-29-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zavl icp zcommon znvpair ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu50.2 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Fri Dec 4 09:39:08 2020 DisplayManager: gdm3 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-10-18 (46 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.10 "Groovy Gorilla" - Beta amd64 (20200930) RelatedPackageVersions: mutter-common 3.38.1-2ubuntu1 SourcePackage: gnome-shell UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/1906792/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
