Lots of bug triage and user support in Launchpad and upstreams. Backlog stats are here.
Continued fixing regressions from the new KMS thread logic (super optimized cursor latency) in mutter 45.beta:
- Fixed cursor stutter in the fallback path (NVIDIA proprietary driver).
- Fixed missing cursor on legacy (non-atomic) KMS drivers.
- Split into smaller tasks: !3148, !3149, !3138, #2940
Triple buffering:
- Fixed some stutter accidentally introduced when porting to 45.beta last week.
- Work in progress on a new multi-monitor screen freeze. Looks like it could be an old bug or even tablet-specific?
Minor update to the scrolling paint volume optimization in gnome-shell.
Proposed a fix for gnome-shell crashing with touchscreens on Xorg.
