This is not unusual. Wayland is young and immature. Wayland has been in the process of replacing X11 for 15 years now. When X was 15 years old, the X.org domain name was created, and it wasn't for five more years that the X.org Foundation came into being. > At this point of time my KDE with X11 experience is better than my KDE > with Wayland experience.

It is unlikely that X will be actually abandoned until all of these problems with Wayland are solved. (There is always somebody who pops up and claims that they have never had a problem with Wayland, or any such problems no longer exist. That's their subjective experience, and they are entitled to be happy about Wayland, but they are not entitled to tell you that your experience is invalid.) -dsr-
