Confirmed drag and drop outside window under Wayland session is working in 47.0-1ubuntu4.3 in oracular, by dragging a selection outside nautilus and drag it back, the selection won't be cancelled due to touch draging outside window.
The test case described is also tested, as scrolling the list while moving the finger outside the window still keeps the scrolling state. ** Tags removed: verification-needed verification-needed-oracular ** Tags added: verification-done verification-done-oracular -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2089843 Title: Applications stop receiving touch updates when the finger moves outside of the window Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in mutter source package in Noble: Invalid Status in mutter source package in Oracular: Fix Committed Bug description: [ Impact ] A touchscreen input sequence is supposed to "grab" onto the window where the action started, so that even when moving the finger outside of the window updates are still sent to it. Instead, as the finger leaves the surface of the window, that stops receiving all touch updates and does not even receive a finish event. [ Test Case ] 0. Log in to a GNOME Wayland desktop session 1. Open the Nautilus file manager 2. Navigate to a directory with many files 3. Switch to the vertical "List View" 4. Start scrolling vertically with the touchscreen 5. While scrolling, let the finger leave the surface of the window to its right 7. Verify that Nautilus keeps scrolling even with the finger outside the window [ Where problems could occur ] mutter is the Wayland compositor library that provides graphics and inputs for the GNOME desktop, thus is a critical component. Problems could manifest with touch input not working anymore, or sudden log-out if gnome-shell crashes. The change is limited to touchscreen handling, and won't ever affect a system without touchscreen.
