How to file a helpful issue

Qubes OS release

R4.0 I think? In any case this should still impact R4.1.

Brief summary

While working on the Wayland GUI agent, I kept running into spurious key press events when switching windows. These usually showed up as terminal windows in an invalid state that was hard to recover from. I had to resort to a disgusting hack to fix them, and I am not sure if the hack actually worked.

Steps to reproduce

See above.

Expected behavior

No spurious events

Actual behavior

@DemiMarie, do you think this might be connected with #4211 or maybe even the same issue?

@na-- I would not at all be surprised if this is a duplicate of #4211, but it would take more testing to find out. @locriacyber might know.

I don't know about Wayland. #4211 never happened to me.

I don’t think this has been fixed. It still happens to me sometimes.
