1797916 - on wayland browser chrome menus don't appear or disappear, especially anything related to bookmarks

Status: RESOLVED MOVED

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

Description

[Thayne]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:106.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/106.0

Steps to reproduce:

Try to open bookmark toolbar menus, or try to click on the bookmark menu button on the toolbar (the one that looks like a star on a tray). Or Press alt to get the menu bar to appear and click on the Bookmarks menu.

Actual results:

The menu doesn't appear. Also, probably related:

• Sometimes while navigating the system menu (the menu from the hamburger button), the menu randomly disappears, I haven't noticed any particular pattern.
• If I edit a bookmark, if I click on the "Location" dropdown , the edit bookmark dialog disappears, but the selection UI appears. If I select a location, it is saved. Similarly, If I edit the tags, then the tag completion hint appears, but the parent edit bookmark dialog disappears. I can continue typing and save a tag.
• If I click on "Other Bookmarks" a black box the shape of a menu drop down appears. But no menu content renders. Sometimes the browser crashes.

Expected results:

Menus should just work as expected. Clicking on a Menu button should open the menu. I should be able to see my bookmarks in the menus. The edit bookmark dialog shouldn't disappear when I interact with it.

In short, the browser chrome should actually be usable.

Of note: This behavior only happens if I have MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND set

[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 can reproduce on nightly. Although, interestingly, I wasn't able to reproduce initially. But after importing the bookmarks from my main profile, I was able to reproduce. I wonder if this is related to my large number of bookmarks.

which compositor do you use?

sway

Please test different compositor:

and report to Sway bug tracker if it's Sway only.
Thanks.
