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.
As Tav mentioned, he's tested Inkscape on Wayland. I'm not aware anyone else has.
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.
Ubuntu does not have Wayland enabled by default. Presumably same with most Ubu-derivs. Dunno about Debian.
Any pointers? A bug report maybe? Otherwise I will file one myself, and start some debugging.
Yes, bug reports would be helpful. File them at https://inkscape.org/report
I've not been running across many Wayland bug reports so far, other than what Tav's mentioned, although I'm just skimming mostly and it's possible I've just overlooked them. But I don't think you'd be duplicating efforts filing new bugs. Any work you can do to narrow down what's going on, even speculatively, can be handy once someone gets a chance to look.
