Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 2:21.1.12-1
Severity: wishlist

Hey.

Joking:
" Debin's xorg lacks critical security patches, I demand make me maintainer 
immediately "

Too soon for XZ jokes? O:-P


Seriously, there's a new upstream version out (21.1.13), which incorporates
not only the fix for a security issue (which you've already cherry picked
thanks for being so fast :-) ), but also the backported:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/commit/f54647dfa6e45481282c3650019449379059f113

That fixes a long standing and particula annoying (but in no way critical)
GTK 3 issue, where, when the mouse pointer is e.g. at the leftmost position,
it's not recognised as being there, and thus e.g. click&hold and select
on a maximised terminal window fails.

This happens not always but often (so sometimes you select lines, it works
sometimes not).
It does not happen at all with e.g. xterm.

The above patch would fix that.


Since xorg releases happen very sporadically these days (only when there are
security holes?) I wanted to ask whether you might consider upgrading to
that version (despite no securiy issue being fixed by it, that's not already
fixed in Debian).

But... no hurry needed... that issue has been open for quite a while, so will
be able to live with it for a bit longer. :-)


Thanks,
Chris.
