1787939 - [Flatpak] Firefox menu and all context menu are not opening in Steam Deck game mode

Status: NEW

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect, P3)

Description

[keedav]

Steps to reproduce:

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:105.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/105.0

I can reproduce it with the following steps, in a completely new profile:

1. Install Firefox from Flathub via the KDE Discover app (from both stable and beta repo)
2. Add Firefox to Steam by right clicking its icon -> Add to Steam
3. Return to Gaming mode
4. Launch Firefox from your Library
5. Click on the Firefox menu hamburger button
6. Additionally try to click on the Firefox Pocket button, or right click on one of the tabs
7. Hover your mouse cursor over an item where a tooltip should be shown (ex. a tab)

Actual results:

Each time I click on the Firefox menu button, the screen flashes briefly, the mouse cursor jumps to the top left corner of the screen, but the Firefox menu is not opening. Also, no other menus are appearing either, no right click context menu, no overflow menu.

It is not invisible, I cannot select the menu items even if I click on the place it would have opened to.

The same things happens if you hover over anything where a tooltip should appear. The screen flashes briefly, but the tooltip is not visible.

Everything is working perfectly in desktop mode.

Expected results:

The Firefox menu, context menus, and tooltips should work in game mode.

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

I have the same issue.

There's a report on this bug on github too, in the gamescope repo. My understanding is gamescope is used by SteamDeck's gaming mode (step 3 in the bug report) to provide a session/scope for applications to render into.

The issue may be in gamescope or Firefox. It seems to only appear when both are used together. I would guess it's a gamescope issue, but it's entirely possible Firefox is doing something unusual/incorrect/buggy since, to my knowledge, this is the only application that exhibits this bug. Suggested workarounds on forums are to use another browser, which is less than ideal, but suggests other context menus/etc are rendering just fine.

See here: https://github.com/Plagman/gamescope/issues/607

If this is likely a gamescope bug, it may be useful to shed some light on how Firefox renders tooltips, menus and context menus, in order to find other apps similarly affected in gamescope, or help diagnose the bug in gamescope.

[andrew]

Another theory: I just found an old open bug on here with a similar description stating that the context menus don't work in Wayland. The Steam Deck uses Wayland in gaming mode (with gamescope).

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1729718

And perhaps at the core, there is a long-standing issue relating to Wayland support here:

Can you attach about:support contents from the problematic Firefox instance? Should be easy to check whether it's using wayland, X11, or XWayland.

looking at about:support when running Firefox in both game mode, in the desktop running as a game in a game mode (used a script to add KDE as a game) and in desktop mode itself :

• Gamemode:
  Window Protocol: x11
  Desktop Environment: unknown
• Desktop running as a game:
  Window Protocol: wayland
  Desktop Environment: kde
• Desktop mode:
  Window Protocol: x11
  Desktop Environment: kde

(only the first mode suffers from this bug (the desktop as game has its own problems that don't appear to be related))

Comment 7

[andrew]

about:support is quite a lot of info, so let me know if any specific fields are useful. At a guess, the following would be relevant:

Version: 107.0
Build ID: 20221110173214
Distribution ID: mozilla-flatpak
Window Protocol: x11
Desktop Environment: unknown

Environment Variables:
MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND 1

Hi everyone,

I open gamescope in desktop mode.

You can trigger this error everytime a context menu is created

[Kagami Rosylight [:saschanaz] (they/them)]

widget.gtk.native-context-menus=true opens the context menu by a long tap but then the touch input breaks. Somehow Firefox thinks there's an active touch tap when there's none, and thus any extra tapping is treated as two-finger zoom gesture. Opening with L2 button shows no problem. The Firefox hamburger is still broken with the flag (which is probably expected).

Removing flatpak from blocking issue as I think this is more about Gamescope compatibility rather than flatpak.

I believe there are two routes to fix the issue above. Fix gamescope X window handling or fix gtk seat wayland crashing bug. I found a workaround issues by setting KDE or Gnome as the wayland socket in gamescope. This works past firefox 121 because previous version will only enable xwayland.

gamescope --expose-wayland -- env WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 ./firefox-bin

Name Firefox
Version 121.0b3
Build ID 20231124091512

Firefox prints gtk seat crashes with gamescope-0 socket.

I did not test the workarounds in flatpak and Steam OS yet because firefox 121 is still in beta.

Do you have a relevant crash report in about:crashes? It could help investigate the crash.
