heavy shell-wide stutters while hovering Guild Wars 2 launcher (wayland only)
Affected version
Fedora 38
all releases of Gnome 44 are affected (didn't test others yet)
Wayland only, Xorg is not affected
Bug summary
While hovering the Guild Wars 2 launcher the complete shell will continously freeze and stutter between 100ms and 2s long. The cursor jumps and other applications freeze/stutter in sync.
The issue is only visible while the cursor hovers the launcher. The issue is immediatly gone after closing the launcher or entering the game (which closes the launcher). The issue is not reproduciable on Xorg.
Steps to reproduce
- Download Guild Wars 2 launcher (https://account.arena.net/content/download/gw2/win/64)
- Careful: running the launcher will create data files left and right of the launcher. Place it in a temp dir.
- Run the launcher using Wine (tested on Fedora 38 system wine and wine-ge-8-15)
