Hi,

Can we expect at some point that gnome 49.1 will land in Ubuntu 25.10? There is this issue with overlay windows not working correctly - this has apparently been fixed in 49.1

the new fedora 43 release does not seem to suffer from this issue.

Hi, I’d like to have an answer as well for this bug in GNOME is preventing me to properly use Remote Desktop in Ubuntu (frequent crashes when trying to connect from Windows desktop). It was fixed in GNOME 49.1. How long it takes for new GNOME to reach Ubuntu repos? I am on Ubuntu 25.10 and right now it’s unusable for me because of this.

Has the issue

Have you, or someone else filed a bug report? so it can be noticed by a developer who maybe able to investigate it, either backport a fix, or use it as reason to plan/justify spending time on fixing it (will be easier if the bug reports gets more heat, ie. more people saying ‘impacts me too’)

I did not think it was needed, as gnome has already made a fix for it. Im also not sure how to report bugs?

Unless a bug has been reported against Ubuntu 25.10 on the bug tracker, that release isn’t impacted.

The standard bug link is ReportingBugs - Community Help Wiki

As for what to file against, sorry I don’t know, as I don’t know what the picture you provided was supposed to show, possibly as I don’t use or know almost nothing about blender.

Hello, I was also dealing with the same issue. I reported it against gnome-shell, stating that 29.0 had broken Blender (4.1.1 in my case) same issue as original poster.

gnome-shell bug 2130855

Hopefully this will have visibility, but I am worried that I reported in the wrong place.

I must say that this strikes me as a deficiency in the reporting process. Since Ubuntu dictates what version of GNOME gets installed, but the bug is a bug with GNOME and it is already fixed on their end, but for the user to see relief, Ubuntu must act. It becomes a grey area, and risks falling into the proverbial crack.

Hi @Zeanix
If you are still struggling with this, I have found a workaround:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=308598

For myself, I run a portable version of Blender 4.1.1. I created an SH file containing

!/bin/bash

WAYLAND_DISPLAY=""
exec (path to blender)blender-4.1.1-linux-x64/blender

read

So far it seems to be functioning sufficiently. I hope this helps you and anyone else.
