Hello everyone,
Inkscape 1.0a isn't usable at all for me at the moment on Linux when running it under Wayland; it appears to be missing most of the mouse events or something. I cannot draw even the simplest geometry! I haven't figured out how to make a screencast that shows the mousepointer, but maybe that's another Wayland issue ;-). Can't show it to you because of this, but it's really bad.
I don't recall any reports about this and cannot find anything in the Gitlab issues either, but surely others must be experiencing this too... Unless everyone else is still on Xorg. I've reproduced this on both Fedora 30, with current trunk, as well as on Ubuntu Gnome 18.04.2, using the inkscape-trunk PPA. When I use Xorg, the problem disappears, on both distros. This is rather problematic though, because all (?) linux distros that have gnome also have Wayland enabled by default these days.
Any pointers? A bug report maybe? Otherwise I will file one myself, and start some debugging.
I use master/trunk with Wayland on Fedora 29 without too many problems. The one thing that doesn't work is the "Gnome docking library" (I have a long term plan to replace it).
