Mouse wheel scrolling skips every third scroll
discussion.fedoraproject.org
I’m running Fedora Kinoite 40, having switched over from Onyx through a rebase. On Onyx I was using X11, which worked just fine. Kinoite instead uses Wayland by default, which causes some issues with the scroll wheel. On most apps it works fine, however on Firefox (using Wayland directly) it seems to skip every third scroll. I have attached a screenshot below, on the top is the output of libinput debug-events and on the bottom is the output of wev. As you can see from the libinput output, I...

    So does it not happen on X11?

    I run into scrolling issues like these on both Wayland and X11 every now and then. Scroll events fail to get processed, sometimes scrolling only works in one direction, or scroll events get super delayed. Seems to have something to do with Firefox getting into some kind of weird state, but a reboot seems to be the only real solution.

    I don’t think it’s a hardware issue because this doesn’t happen on Windows. I’ve given up looking for the cause, I assume it’s some kind of misconfiguration somewhere, or just one of those Linux bugs that no volunteer would ever delve deeply enough into to actually debug. It only happens once or twice and month and a reboot only takes a minute, so I’m not spending more time on this stuff. I’m sure it’ll disappear on its own through some random update down the line!

      It’s very consistent in my case though, it happens all the time on some apps. Hopefully someone will fix it lol

    Not sure if relevant but I’ve noticed in Hunt: Showdown I keep going too far in an item selector, but only when scrolling downwards. However it doesn’t happen outside of games (Xwayland issue?)
