Public bug reported:
Impact ------ We need to update gtk4 before updating mutter to 42.1. Otherwise, in gtk3 apps like gnome-text-editor, it's not possible to scroll past the cursor position. The mutter issue with more details is https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2261 We need to update mutter 42.1 since it includes a lot of bug fixes. GNOME Shell 42.1 (with the corresponding changes to mutter, gtk3 and gtk4) will better comply with the Wayland specifications. The gtk3 bug is LP: #1972721 Test Case --------- Install the updated gtk4 packages. Use gnome-text-editor to open a long text file. Scroll down past the page break. The document should scroll normally. What Could Go Wrong ------------------- Ideally, GNOME would have done a new GTK4 release for this issue. They will eventually, but it seems better for Ubuntu to be proactive and not further delay the mutter/gnome-shell 42.1 releases. These commits are cherry-picks from the stable branch https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/commits/gtk-4-6 NOTE ---- To avoid a temporary mismatch related to phased updates, we want this update to be 100% phased before releasing mutter 42.1 to jammy-updates. ** Affects: gtk4 (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: Fix Committed ** Affects: gtk4 (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: High Assignee: Jeremy Bicha (jbicha) Status: In Progress ** Tags: jammy ** Also affects: gtk4 (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gtk4 (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: gtk4 (Ubuntu Jammy) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: gtk4 (Ubuntu Jammy) Assignee: (unassigned) => Jeremy Bicha (jbicha) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk4 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1972722 Title: Include gtk4 changes needed for mutter 42.1 Status in gtk4 package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in gtk4 source package in Jammy: In Progress Bug description: Impact ------ We need to update gtk4 before updating mutter to 42.1.
