Description:
In a GNOME on Wayland session, if dropping one or more files into a web browser (both chrome or firefox), the event.shiftKey and event.ctrlKey are always false. It works fine in X11. It was working fine on GNOME 3.24 on Wayland as well.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
mutter 3.26.2-1


Steps to reproduce:
0) On a GNOME on Wayland session:
1) Save and open the attached test.html page in either Chrome or Firefox
2) Open the console (ctrl+shift+i)
3) Drag a file from Nautlis while holding the shift key and look at the console outup
4) You would expect "true" but you get "false"

repeat the seps above on X11: you'll get "true" when holding the shift key down

I cannot reproduce the issue. Is it still valid?
Comment by Luca Viggiani (lviggiani) - Monday, 28 February 2022, 08:39 GMT
Yes it's still valid at least on latest Chrome 98.0.4758.102 and Mutter 41.4

Please report this upstream. There's nothing Arch can do about it.

If this is a Firefox issue, I won't be backporting fixes for Wayland to it as long as it's not enabled by default.

If this is a Mutter issue, it might be possible.
