Public bug reported: ======== Symptoms ========
Sometimes, when coming back to my laptop, and unlocking an existing GNOME session, I find that my gnome-terminal has turned very dark. I have found no triggers (other than session unlock) and no fixes to undo the darkness. It looks like this: https://junk.devs.nu/2024/lp0-gnome-terminal-turned-dark/gnome-terminal- very-dark-on-the-right.png The window on the right is the one I found after unlocking my GNOME session. The window on the left was a second terminal I started, which has the normal brightness. Using some color picking, I can say that the brightness has been reduced by 70%-85%. Here's an animation of the window: https://junk.devs.nu/2024/lp0-gnome-terminal-turned-dark/gnome-terminal- turned-very-dark.webm The video shows: - The dark window in a smaller state; - settings are opened, and switched to bright colors; - both the good and the bad terminals get lighter, but the bad terminal is still way too dark; - moving the window to the right shows a glitch in the glitch where the bottom-most row has normal colors. ======== Versions ======== - Ubuntu Jammy 22.04 (many versions) - gnome-terminal 3.44.0-1ubuntu1 - libmutter 42.9-0ubuntu7 I thought it might be a Wayland thing, but I switched back to Xorg recently and the problem wasn't gone. I've not seen this bug with Focal. And my colleagues haven't seen the bug either. ======== Followup ======== I have no idea where to look further. I did some probing with xprop on the window, that gave me no useful info, and may likely not be relevant as Wayland is also affected. Any suggestions to get to the bottom of this is appreciated. Unfortunately, I don't know how to trigger the bug. I always have terminals open, and only 1% of the time (ball park) when unlocking does this occur. Let me know. Cheers!
