Please fill out the following:

  • Sway Version:

    • sway version 1.9
  • Debug Log:

    • TODO
  • Configuration File:

    • N/A
  • Description:

    • I've been able to reproduce this issue with both Company of Heroes 2 and Ableton Live
    • The window 3d texture seems to think it's somewhere else and incorrectly draws or registers mouse clicks
    • it is not a bug with Xwayland, both Wine backends cause the same exact problem.
    • Gamescope correctly positions the window texture but has issues with the 2d file menu portion of Ableton Live
    • Sway has issues with both the file menu and correctly positioning the window texture.
    • Sway and Ableton live causes the window to constantly resize in the vertical axis in tiling mode.

Demoing some of the issues:

I suspect this is partially wine's fault, but this behavior is very bizarre, and considering gamescope can fix some issues (like the picture flowing off screen), there's at-least some responsibility here.

If there's any tips on how to better debug this that would be great.

I probably need to update to 1.10 and provide a fresh debug log, but for now I just want to make this known as this is a long standing issue, that I suspect hasn't been fixed.

disabling "Allow the window manager to control the windows" creates a window on top of everything you can't control, focus or close, why does sway/wayland even allow this?

@emersion why does sway allow wine apps to draw over everything with no way to interact with them? this happens with both the x11 and wayland backend, Not only is this annoying, but potentially insecure since it would allow malicious apps to make you blind with no way to "alt+f4" the window.

This app seems to work fine on last time I used it on x11.
