Bug: Cannot click after a while

Hello, I’m trying to use the latest version of Lens (2025.6.261308) on GNOME 48, Fedora 42, Wayland.

The bug is that every few minutes I have trouble clicking in certain places in the window. I cannot click on the items in the sidebar or the resources I’m interested in. The only solution seems to be restarting Lens, when it continues working for a while.

I’m trying now by forcing Wayland, but I’ll have to play around with it for a while to see if it works:

DISPLAY= ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=auto /opt/app/lens/Lens-2025.6.261308-latest.x86_64.AppImage

Hello @akvadrako,

thanks for reporting this issue and sharing your environment details. We’ve seen that certain Electron-based apps can run into intermittent click/input problems under GNOME Wayland, depending on GPU drivers and desktop environment settings.

As a first step, could you please try launching Lens with Wayland disabled and see if the problem persists? For example:

env DISABLE_WAYLAND=1 /opt/app/lens/Lens-2025.6.261308-latest.x86_64.AppImage

Alternatively, you could try logging in via GNOME on Xorg instead of Wayland to see if that improves stability.

If the issue still occurs, it might be related to a recent update in the Fedora graphics stack (Mesa/Mutter). We can investigate further if you could confirm:

  1. Your GPU vendor (Intel, AMD, NVIDIA).
  2. Whether you have any custom GNOME/Mesa updates installed.

We’ll keep you updated once we’ve gathered more information from our side.
