Details

Description:

With Gnome 43 / mutter 43 tools for interacting with VMs and remote systems - such and remote-viewer, VMM and gnome-boxes - are not receiving special keys correctly.

This is reported and fixed upstream.


Additional info:

* package version(s): mutter 43.1-1
* link to upstream bug report: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/6107


Steps to reproduce:

1) Start an new VM in gnome-boxes. It will bring up the dialogue for grabbing the keyboard. Confirm this.
2) Press [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[arrow_right] (the shortcut to move to the next desktop in gnome). It works, but it shouldn't.


Hotfixes:

Some users report that deleting $HOME/.local/share/flatpak/db/gnome fixes the issue for the current session, but I was not able to confirm this with my setup.
This task depends upon

Seems to be gnome-shell and not mutter
