Stray B being printed after switching workspaces with wayland
Affected version
- Your OS and version: Ubuntu 20.04
- Affected GNOME Shell version: 3.35.91-1ubuntu2
- This issue appears in wayland only - not XOrg
Bug summary
The problem is that a stray "B" character is being printed to the terminal screen after switching work spaces with the Ctrl+Alt+{Up/Down arrows}.
Steps to reproduce
- On the first workspace, setup a few applications running (Firefox is focused)
- On the second workspace setup gnome terminal (I'm running 3.35.91) in full screen (F11, so no window boarder) running.
- Switch to the first workspace with Ctrl+Alt+Up Arrow and do some things in FF
- Then Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow to switch back to the second workspace and now see a "B" on the command line.
This happens over and over.. I see the capital B on the commandline when I switch to this workspace where the terminal is fullscreened.
Some things to note about when this happens:
- This only happens with wayland
- It happens fairly often but not 100% of the time
- The key character created is always a "B"
- I've only seen this key character be created on gnome-terminal
- There are no journalctl logs generated when this occurs
- I have to release the Ctrl+Alt+Up and then do Ctrl+Alt+Down to see the B. (If I keep Ctrl+Alt pressed and then do Up and Down, the B is not generated)
- It seems more likely to happen if the first workspace is switched to, spend some time there just clicking things or typing or whatever, and then go back to the second workspace
- It only happens if gnome-terminal is full screen'd with F11
What happened
Printed a "B" character on the terminal where the cursor is, just as if I had typed it, when I switch to that work space.
What did you expect to happen
Switch to the terminal workspace with no characters added.
Relevant logs, screenshots, screencasts etc.
