@jumpsq I don’t seem to have that issue.

@guigirl But don’t you want native window? I thought you used it. Or do you call native window that weird bluish thing created by Chromium?

that black-purple bar is native window

that bluish bar is not native window

From https://pointieststick.com/2021/12/17/this-week-in-kde-kind-of-everything/

In the Plasma Wayland session, various Chromium-based web browsers now show their windows properly (Vlad Zahorodnii, Plasma 5.24)

The bug's details.

Hum ... also the latest version of wlroots and sway seem to be broken.
It has been fixed in chromium on 5 January already, so I hope that this requires nothing more than just another chromium update, although I'm not certain.

Reported as VB-86221, just in case. Either don't update for now or use xwayland instead.

@jumpsq or give up trying to use chromium & wayland together . (though it’s true that this particular bug was quite common, by far not chromium-only, but most other programs have already had bugfix releases.)

@jumpsq I don’t think Vivaldi has worked on Wayland support at all. So Wayland support would be a feature request and your current way to run natively on Wayland is 100% Chromium and could stop working or disappear in any future update.

I'm confident this news will be tremendously exciting to all Vivaldifarians here , & so, fyi...

Firefox Nightly is now fully Wayland-compliant even with its standard launcher, ie, no longer needs the modified launcher command. I can verify that it works just peachy now natively as a full-W app [not Xwayland] in KDE Wayland.

Yep, i just knew you'd all be thrilled.

@jumpsq Fantastic! I was just visiting the forum for this news Guess I just have to wait for the next update.

In KDE Plasma 5.23.5 atm... mouse scroll control.

X11 sessions:

Wayland sessions:

This [latter] enhanced scroll control nicely solves the problem noticed & posted by @Pathduck several months ago. Now, finally, in Vivaldi [launched as vivaldi-snapshot --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland] manually scrolling pages by rolling the wheel by finger becomes efficient. Otoh, in X11 sessions it remains markedly inferior to Firefox.

Just to add to this thread, latest snapshot works on wayland with labwc

CSD seems a problem (can't override SSD) but certainly not a show stopper. I might create an issue at the labwc github repo about that.
