Popup does not vanish with mod-key-release anymore

[Grinzold]

Hi there,

with 'popup-timeout=0' the popup does not vanish anymore. It just stays indefinitely.

Expected behaviour: it should vanish with the release of the modifier keys.

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 21.10
Release: 21.10
Codename: impish

$ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 40.5

$ grep -r '"version":' .
./metadata.json: "version": 33

Not sure if this translates to version v6.4

It's related to v6.4, issue #200 has the same problem (but with a special case).
In your case shouldn't something is fishy. If the popup doesn't disappear without performing an special action, then you must have a modifier key used by default which doesn't make sense. Can you please let us know if you have any special use case that causes this behavior or a package/configuration you are using that you think it causes it?

[ebeem]

Can you please check with an earlier release of wsmatrix? like v6.3 or v6.2.
Let me know if you face the same problem or that fixes it.

Also let me know please if you happen to run this Ubuntu machine in a virtual machine.

No virtual machine

It was working perfectly until a few days ago. I am not sure what was updated when. Maybe gnome was also updated...
Is there an 'installation history' for gnome-extensions somewhere? (I use the gnome extension website to manage the extensions.)

I use the modifiers: +

This is in my prefs:

switch-to-workspace-down=['Down']
switch-to-workspace-left=['Left']
switch-to-workspace-right=['Right']
switch-to-workspace-up=['Up']

In the metadata.json there is written version 33. How do you translate this to v6.4 or v6.3...?

Thanks for your help.

The problem above, I have with my desktop. I also use a laptop w/ identical versions. No problem there.

Is there any log/debug output to be enabled?

[ebeem]

Trying out https://github.com/mzur/gnome-shell-wsmatrix/releases/tag/v6.3 and lettings us know whether it fixes it or not will probably help.

[Grinzold]

Sorry for my ignorance, but how do I do that?

Just unpack everything under .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions?

Any log/debug output to check what is going on?

How do I do a fresh start? E.g. get rid of the 'dconf' entries?

[ebeem]

you don't need to do anything with dconf yet, just remove the old extension folder in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions, the folder's name should be something like [email protected].
Then replace it with the one you download and extract from the release page

[Grinzold]

All have the same behaviour. I went down to version v6.0. With timeout=0 the popup is stuck until I click with the mouse or I hit esc...

Version is always shown as '-1', though. Can't you put there the actual version?

[ebeem]

Thanks for your feedback, it seems like you're not the only one facing a similar issue. #200 also mentions the issue and it's probably a GNOME issue.
I will investigate further and keep you updated.
Thanks for your feedback.

Maybe related to #219?

[mzur]

This sounds very much like #219. Since the assumed cause is a missing event returned by Clutter, maybe a Clutter update broke this behavior. This can continue in #219.
