System Information
Operating system: Linux: sway/wlroots
Graphics card: AMD 680M

Blender Version
Broken: 4.0.2

Short description of error
When using blender with sway, and trigger it (see below), blender's viewport will freeze, but the drop-down menus will still work.

triggers:

  • Changing workspaces
  • pressing modifier and focusing blender

Error:

WARN (ghost.wl.keyboard.depressed): intern/ghost/intern/GHOST_SystemWayland.cc:6079 getModifierKeys: modifier (OS) state is inconsistent (GHOST held keys do not match XKB)

Solution:
unfocusing and refocusing blender (sometimes it's anoying because it's the only window, and changing workspace triggers it

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  • Open sway
  • start blender
  • change workspace (Super+[num]) and back again
  • viewport is frozen

I don't think so.

In my case:
Blender expects the modifier key not to be pressed when it's focused again, but it isn't, so it freezes.
(or something simular)

In the other case:
It freezes like that after moving the cube, likely a GPU/intel issue.

It seems likely sees the OS key as being held when it's not, causing those events to be ignored.


What version of sway are you using? I can't redo this with sway 1.8.1.

I can reproduce with sway 1.8.1, 1.9-dev and swayfx 0.3.2

I found it!
This Line is the culrit:
bindsym --no-repeat Super_L nop windown
Funny enough, it happens with any command, but only(?) for the key Super_L, not for Control_L or Alt_L

Note though I need that line, so please don't close yet!

Could this be a Sway Issue?

@jl2 this looks to be a bug in SWAY as binding keys in the configuration should not impact the application.

Said differently, an application should be able to know which keys are held when it's activated no matter what key bindings are set.

Please report this as a bug to SWAYWM.

This happens to me consistently with labwc under wayland... I can reproduce it 100% every time. It is really annoying, it only happens to me when using blender.

@charbel if this isn't happening with more mainstream compositors then it should be reported as a bug in labwc as it's likely not properly handling key press/release events from libinput.

Closing this report as in both cases (SWAY & LABWM) Blender is detecting and reporting an invalid state:

WARN (ghost.wl.keyboard.depressed): intern/ghost/intern/GHOST_SystemWayland.cc:7079 getModifierKeys: modifier (OS) state is inconsistent (GHOST held keys do not match XKB)

Similar issues have been reported & fixed in other compositors:
