Description Daniel van Vugt 2017-12-22 03:02:26 UTC 
Mouse input passes straight through native Wayland clients (only in gnome-shell, not in Weston).

It appears that gnome-shell is using a default wl_surface::set_input_region of empty, whereas the spec says it should be "infinite":
https://wayland.freedesktop.org/docs/html/apa.html#protocol-spec-wl_surface

This only seems to happen for simple Wayland clients that probably don't attempt to call wl_surface::set_input_region at all.

I vaguely recall this was working a couple of months ago. Feels like a recent regression.
