Hi Daniel,

Following up on the nvidia-modeset channel errors on X11 (
nvidia-graphics-drivers-580 version 580.173.02):

In addition to full display freezes, minor channel/modeset synchronization
glitches on X11 are causing input event dropping where window buttons
require 2 to 3 clicks to register.

Diagnostics & Observations:

   1.

   *Hardware / Driver Isolation:* Running xev -event button confirms that
   ButtonPress and ButtonRelease events reach the X server immediately on
   the very first physical click. This rules out mouse switch hardware
   degradation or libinput polling drops.
   2.

   *Orphaned Render Layers:* Clicks are being swallowed by transparent
   window frames/hitboxes retained in mutter/xorg-server when display
   synchronization slips.
   3.

   *Workaround:* Restarting GNOME Shell (Alt + F2 -> r) immediately clears
   the orphaned hitboxes and restores normal single-click responsiveness
   without requiring a full reboot or session restart.

Hope this diagnostic detail helps in tracing the window unmapping/event
handling interaction between xorg-server and the 580 series NVIDIA driver.

Best regards,

George Lacu
