Location of middle-click that does not work as expected

Middle-clicking seems to have no effect when clicking on the new combined titlebars (i.e. Files, Calculator).

It works fine on other apps that have a regular titlebar, like Geany, Firefox.
Comment 1 Rui Matos 2016-10-14 11:29:41 UTC
This kind of titlebar is under gtk+/application control.
Comment 2 Emmanuele Bassi (:ebassi) 2016-10-14 11:34:39 UTC
The default action is 'none' since GTK+ 3.14.1; you will either need gnome-settings-daemon to propagate a setting to GTK+ applications, or you'll need to modify the GtkSettings:gtk-titlebar-middle-click property:

https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkSettings.html#GtkSettings--gtk-titlebar-middle-click

For instance, inside $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

Are you using GNOME?

Middle-click = Lower
Comment 4 Pavlos Touboulidis 2016-10-14 11:46:03 UTC
Yes, I'm using Gnome on Arch Linux. Please look at the attachment above. It already works fine for the applications that have a regular titlebar, like Firefox.
Comment 5 Rui Matos 2016-10-14 14:36:00 UTC
Actually this works on the X backend, it's just that there's no wayland request to "lower" a window, this would need to be discussed in the upstream wayland xdg_shell protocol context.

Hi Matthias, this was marked as a dup of 780047, but that bug was closed as WONTFIX. I'm not questioning that but who's responsible for fixing this? Where should I file a bug? Thanks!
