of regression warnings when using wlroots 0.19. We would like to fix these
before releasing:
- Press-drag-release menu actions broken [#2787] There is a regression warning worth noting for the switch to wlroots 0.19:
- Blurry Gtk surfaces after output on/off with scale != 1.0 [#2769]
- Menu item can no longer be activated in any Gtk applications with a single
press-drag-release mouse action. For context: This is due to ambiguity in the
specifications and contrary implementations. For example, Gtk applications are
broken under KWin in this regard, while vice versa Qt clients are broken under
other compositors like Weston, Mutter and labwc. It has been decided not to
block the release due to this regression as it is an eco-system wide issue
that has existed for a long time. [#2787]
- VR headset support is disabled when compiled with wlroots `0.19.0` to work
around a bug on the wlroots side which is expected to be fixed in wlroots
`0.19.1` [#2887]
