Description Adam Williamson 2014-09-03 14:13:45 UTC 
Running current Fedora 21:

ibus-wayland-1.5.8-2.fc21.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-Xwayland-1.16.0-3.fc21.x86_64

If I go to Evolutions 'Contacts' pane (this bug does not manifest from the 'Mail' pane) and open the 'View' or 'Actions' menu, I cannot interact with them using the mouse. The elements don't highlight as I move over them, menus that should expand to the side don't do so, and I can't activate one by clicking on it. I can interact with the menus successfully using the keyboard (e.g. pressing down a few times and then enter).

Not reproducible here under weston or a very old mutter-wayland. So at least not a problem of xwayland.

Are you sure you launched the program from xwayland?
Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2014-09-04 03:39:15 UTC 
not 100%, but I was under the impression we still defaulted to X11 backend for non-clutter apps in Fedora, I thought we didn't yet consider it viable to set the GDK backend to Wayland by default. A Fedora dev may be able to clarify, though. I'm simply running things as default - I launch a stock Fedora GNOME 3 wayland session and run the app.
Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2014-09-04 03:51:55 UTC 
app seems to behave the same whether I pass GDK_BACKEND=x11 or GDK_BACKEND=wayland . It's actually a GTK+ 2 app, and I was under the impression GTK+ 2 isn't ported to Wayland at all, so it must be using XWayland?

No. Evolution uses gtk3
Comment 5 Olivier Fourdan 2015-12-17 09:51:02 UTC 
I think this particular issue was fixed a while back with commit c1565f3c

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=c1565f3c

I cannot reproduce with a recent Xwayland from xserver 1.18.x nor with native gtk3 apps.

Downstream bug was https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1188289

Please reopen if the issue still occurs for you with a recent gtk3/gnome-shell/Xwayland build.
