I had similar Wayland problems after upgrading to F35 on PineBook Pro. I use a plain-vanilla default GNOME/Wayland session (i.e., install Fedora Workstation and don't meddle with it). I haven't taken the time to look into this myself or write up a decent bug report, but I can probably reproduce anything Andreas is seeing.

Interesting, not seeing this on my fully updated Pinebook Pro with Fedora 35 Workstation on Wayland. Is it all windows or just certain applications? It would be great if we could get a bug report to get it fixed.


I also noticed that switching to an X11 session fixed a Wayland bug carried over from F34 (which I've also never written up properly), in which Thunderbird interacts badly with task switching, e.g., it can't be Alt+Tab'ed to.

I'm not really asking for help with these issues, since I haven't even bothered to document them. However, I'm happy to help reproduce, debug, or test if somebody does work on them.
