When I press F11 on an app like Visual Studio Code, my cursor goes invisible but I can still click stuff. On Firefox, this doesn't happen.
I did a search on Google, but I couldn't find any fixes.
I fixed it by doing this:
sudo -i
(enter your password if asked)nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
# WaylandEnable=false
, and remove the #
Y
.systemctl restart gdm3
and it should work! Make sure to save any unsaved documents before running this command.This is apparently some interaction between the video driver, mutter, and Wayland (see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2657).
It's not really clear from what I can tell who is at fault, but is most likely either Gnome or Wayland.
To workaround the issue, you can do one of the following:
Do as suggested above and use X instead of Wayland
Change your video driver (the Radeon driver on AMD doesn't have this issue, I believe; not sure about NVidia)
Install the Disable Redirect Fullscreen Windows Gnome extension (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1873/disable-unredirect-fullscreen-windows/)
The third solution is I think the easiest and best, provided you don't need the unredirect functionality of Gnome.
