Description of the issue: Under certain circumstances on the Gnome desktop the “ctrl” key will start the “close tab” action and the “alt” tab will start the “close window” action.
How can this issue be reproduced?
EDIT: There’s an additional unknown step that must trigger this behavior, while opening this thread I could reliable reproduce this behavior with these instructions, but after an hour or so I can’t anymore. I have had this behavior before so I know it wasn’t a random one off.
Install Brave via flatpak from flathub
Open Brave
Use the trackpad gesture or “super” key to show the activities key.
Select the Brave window
Now some keys misbehave:
Pushing the “ctrl” key will close any tab
Pushing the “alt” key will close the window, if the window has multiple tabs it will ask the confirmation to close all the tabs
Pressing the “tab” key restores the “ctrl” and “alt” keys behaviors
Expected result: For “ctrl” and “alt” to not change behavior
Brave Version( check About Brave): Version 1.78.102 Chromium: 136.0.7103.113 (Official Build)
Maybe try other browser? My understanding is the issue tracking for Gnome is dealing with heavy problems with bots and they have setup very aggressive filtering
Window manager warning: META_CURRENT_TIME used to choose focus window; focus window may not be correct. on every workspace switching using the 4-finger gesture
Is there any setting/command line argument/environment variable I can set to get any additional logging so I can provide that data to the Gnome project?
