Top Bar Flickers When Using Touchpad Gestures
Affected version
Wayland, Gnome 40 beta experimental build, repo by haeckerfelix on Fedora COPR
Bug summary
Gnome 40 introduced touchpad gestures (3 finger swipe up) to enter Activities Overview. However, when using this gesture incompletely (swipe up but not all the way up to enter the Overview), the top bar flickers upon returning to whatever the user was working on.
Steps to reproduce
- Using a touchpad, swipe up a little
- Swipe down or release
- Top bar flickers
What happened
The top bar flickers for less than a second and momentarily shows part of the background in place of the top bar before showing the top bar again.
What did you expect to happen
The top bar stays there and does not flicker.
