DDNet not grabbing touchpad/mouse pointer (Linux)

[rafaelff]

I recently updated my GNOME desktop environment to version 3.22 among another dependencies, which might be related to this issue. I don't know what is the direct cause or what is the application directly involved.

Now, DDNet Client is not grabbing both touchpad and mouse pointers, so the pointer won't even be displayed in the game's GUI. Even though I don't see the pointer, I notice this: when I click inside the DDNet window in the screen area, nothing happen; when I click outside the DDNet window, it focus on another application.

This doesn't seem to be related to DDNet version, as I downgraded from 10.3.2 to older versions and this issue still happens.

Environment: Arch Linux 64-bit, GNOME 3.22.1, DDNet 10.3.2 (EDIT: Wayland windowing system)

Ideas? Help?

set it to 1, but nothing changed.

It seems this is happening only when starting gnome-session in Wayland, which is now the default in GNOME 3.22; DDNet works just fine when in Xorg option.

Oh, wayland. Try updating SDL2, otherwise no idea. If you find out the reason, make a PR please. More people will run into this soon probably.
