Works fine in a up-to-date Xfce cauldron that was installed before mga7beta1 iso testing began.

Assigning to the registered maintainer.

Comment 2 Lewis Smith 2018-12-07 16:02:03 CET

Just tried under XFCE, where it *does* work. Problem could be Gnome only.

Comment 3 Lewis Smith 2018-12-07 20:41:49 CET

Works also under Plasma, so take as Gnome only.

Comment 4 Jani Välimaa 2018-12-16 10:26:59 CET

Perhaps because of Wayland.

Does 'GDK_BACKEND=x11 parole' work?
