I love gnome, but this bug is driving me crazy. *removed externally hosted image*

This bug exists since I get my surface 3 (for years) , and I have no idea what is causing it.

    I have an old touchscreen lenvo yoga, I use it with gnome and never noticed this. Checked it for this post, and it behaves the same way :) I use the touchscreen only for scrolling webpages, never wanted to touch buttons on the header, I never use it as a tablet, always in laptop mode.

    Played a bit and I could reproduce the issue, in multiple apps, but I don't know when it happens. Also when it stops registering the touches it also stops registering touchpad clicks on the header buttons, so I guess it's not a touch only issue, I cannot even click on that ellipsis button with the touchpad anymore. Making the app fullscreen solves it sometimes, also opening the activities overview helped sometimes.

    It seems totally random when it happens.

      Mentioned by Philip goto, someone has already filed a report

      https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1523

      And I am surprise how the bug exists for years and no-one brother it. Anyway, it's going to be fixed in future.

      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.
