Gnome 46 exension breaks vrr about gnome-shell-pano HOT 5 OPEN

No worries about things being wrong, we are all investigating, so nothing is for granted... 😓

That said, #277 was done, because of another issue with full-screen Wayland and mutter, so I'll have to look into this 🤔

But fixing one bug and causing another is a bad situation, if we revert this fix, the original bug #263 comes back 🤦🏼‍♂️

So we have to wait for a fix of both bugs, or at least one, so that we can apply the fix or not 😂

Edit: the PR that would fix #263, and we could revert #277 would be #mutter/2660

But it's still open and not merged 😓

Just commenting to say that this sounds like an impossible bug. This extension just captures clipboard contents, and provides one hotkey to display a list of clipboard contents. It has nothing to do with VRR. I don't even think that extensions can do ANYTHING about the VRR code (can't inject into it at all), because VRR is handled by Mutter, which is the compositor ABOVE GNOME Shell in the hierarchy. Extensions can only modify GNOME Shell.

It could be, that this causes the problem: #277 🤔

Look initially I thought like you, but with all the tests I did and under all conditions the vrr stops working only and only if this extension is active on Gnome 46. The test is safely reproducible and I have already verified that I am not the only one with this problem as you can see here:
#271 (comment)

Also thinking about it, the way the vrr is activated on gnome and then mutter depends on the "exclusive" full screen, so if there is any app that interferes with the "exclusive" full screen the vrr will never be activated.

It could be, that this causes the problem: #277 🤔

I also think it is related to this issue.
I haven't read what they did to fix the problem but maybe the workaroud they found breaks compatibility with vrr

PS. if anything I wrote is wrong I apologize in advance

from gnome-shell-pano.

oh that's a bummer.
In any case, I wanted to know if it has already been verified that the vrr worked before #277 . To see if it was that modification that caused problems or not.

If it is necessary I can test the old version myself, but I don't know how to refer to the codebase before this merge but I would be willing to do it with the correct instructions.

PS. Also would anyone be able to explain why this problem only happens with the version of mutter that comes with gnome 46?
