From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I love gnome, but this bug is driving me crazy.

This bug exists since I get my surface 3 (for years) , and I have no idea what is causing it.

I found it! I can reproduce the issue, it's not random, we can open a bug report. It happens if you focus another window with the mouse, than even though you can focus the window with touch, the button won't work there.

The button works this way:

  1. Click on the header of the Console window with mouse
  2. Touching the menu button works on the Console window.
  3. Touching on any other menu buttons on different windows doesn't work.

The button doesn't work this way:

  1. Click to any other window or just on the empty desktop with mouse
  2. You can focus the window with touch, but the button doesn't work.

So in other words, it works only, if you focused the window with mouse previously. I can't see anything related to this in the logs. Please try to reproduce.

I'm still on Gnome 44, I would wait until I get Gnome 45, to see if maybe they fixed this.
