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.

Also, firefox does not recognize my touchscreen input in a few area. For example, you can not scroll on menu, history, and I am considering to file a report. Does this happen to you? Using Firefox on Wayland.

I have no issues with firefox, I use it with these 2 envvars:

MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1

I will check that tomorrow, as I don't use touch for everything.

I know these two environment, and it helps with webpage scrolling only. In some menu, like history menu, it does not scroll but drag the text only. Better file a bug report.

Here is the video

As you can see, scrolling is available for webpage, but not in sub-menu.

Unrelated but the Activate GNOME watermark is just some kind of meme of Activate Windows, right?

~~Yes, you can get it at here~~

No. I am too broke to buy the license of gnome :(

It's the same for me. But as a workaround scrolling works in the History pane (Ctrl+H) and in the Library (Ctrl+Shift+O)
