Lots of bug triage and user support in Launchpad and upstreams. Backlog stats are here.
Reviewed and merged more dash-to-dock proposals: #2188, #2185
Fixed outstanding issues with the missing hardware cursor fix in Mutter 46.
Redesigned the stylesheets crash fix to avoid a couple of potential bugs.
An Nvidia lag regression was found in Mutter updates. Proposed two upstream fixes mutter!3684 and mutter!3685, as well as providing the preferred one in a PPA for people who need a quick fix.
Minor conflict fix in triple buffering for Mutter 46.1.
Went back and conducted exhaustive retesting of the incomplete screen updates fix after its reliability was questioned. So far it continues to work perfectly.
Started ignoring flaky Mutter test cases on Mantic, just as we do for Noble and Jammy already. This was also requested by ubuntu-sponsors during the previous SRU.
