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:

```auto
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.

That does not work. What should `DISABLE_WAYLAND=1` do? It seems Lens uses XWayland by default, that’s why I added `DISPLAY= ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=auto` to get it to use wayland natively. So far that does seem to help so far.

I can’t use GNOME on Xorg, it doesn’t work with my monitor configuration.

I have an Intel GPU. Also a Nvidia one as secondary, but it isn’t used by GNOME or Lens.

I have no updates installed - This is Fedora Silverblue, an image-based OS.

Thanks a lot for clarifying — that helps us understand the situation better.  
And thanks for confirming the GPU setup (Intel primary, NVIDIA secondary but unused) and that you’re on Fedora Silverblue with a stable image. That rules out driver/package drift.

We’ll review this with our engineering/PM team.
