[SOLVED] GUI not updating properly on X11/unresponsive dropdown menu buttons on Wayland (Linux)

[marcine_mukuchi]

Distro: EndeavourOS
Kernel version: Linux 7.0.9-arch1-1
Desktop Environment: Xfce4

DAW: REAPER v7.69
Tested with both v3.7.0s 7750.1084 and v3.8.0beta 7809.968.

I'm on a different setup from the last time I posted a bug report here. Currently having issues with the GUI depending on my window managers of choice.

Xfce4 uses Xfwm (X11) by default. The problem under this WM is that it doesn't seem to update properly unless I close and re-open the plugin window. This would make setting up region zones and other sample editing tasks quite tedious.

On the other hand, I tried logging into a Wayland session and it doesn't have that issue. However, it doesn't seem to accept mouse click inputs on some UI elements, particularly dropdown menus (You'll see in the recording that I tried to click on an item from the Sample Matrix menu, but it doesn't work.)

I'm 50% leaning on this being a caveat of either my DE of choice, or being on an Arch-based distro, but I'm unsure... Hoping that it wouldn't be too much of a fix. Regardless, I'd highly appreciate it if you'd take the time to look into in whenever you can

I could not repro what you describe with Xfce (on ubuntu albeit). I will try to set up an EndeavourOS for testing. Meanwhile, could you tell me which plug format you are using? VST2, VST3 or CLAP?

[marcine_mukuchi]

Forgot about the plugin formats, my bad. I'm using VST2, but the bug is consistent with VST3 and CLAP as well

[elcallio]

Sorry this took some time, I got stuck in a Wayland rabbit hole here.
Unfortunately, I still cannot repro any of your symptoms on EndeavourOS either. Not sure if I managed to get the exact setup you have, or if underlying graphics or anything plays into this.
Regardless, I found some issues around focus, DnD and other X11/Wayland things. There is a new build, 3.8.0beta 7820.718 available which may or may not have some impact on your use case. If not, then I need probably to ask you to run some logging sessions for me.

[marcine_mukuchi]

Latest beta does not seem to fix the issue. Maybe sharing the full specs could help narrow it down. I should've mentioned right at the start that this is a different laptop - early 2011 MacBook Pro 13".

If this doesn't help much then feel free to tell me what I need to do to troubleshoot further.

Can you give me the output of
xfconf-query -c xsettings -l -v
and
xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -l -v

so we can start by figuring out if your xfwm setup differs from my test one...

After a short exchange with elcallio through PM, it appears to be an Intel driver issue on my end. Intel HD Graphics 2000 is 2nd Gen, so I had to install the mesa-amber package instead of regular mesa for better compatibility. xf86-video-intel is also the main culprit for the UI not updating properly, so I had to remove it from my system.
