I have this problem too. The real problem for me is less the dots staying in place, but alt-tab not working anymore. With so many people being affected - did anybody find a workaround other than not using wayland or logging in and out? Is there anything people not deeply into Gnome and/or thunderbird development can do to help it getting solved?
I tried to kill and get gnome-shell reloaded, as I used to to before sometimes, but that just leads to the whole gnome-shell going down and not coming up again, as far as I understand this is related to using Wayland, where killing gnome shell and having it restart automatically seems not to be supported. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1932328 Title: Thunderbird under Wayland does not correctly close (or manage) windows Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: New Status in gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Using Ubuntu 21.04 (Hirsute) that starts in Wayland, by default. Thunderbird version: 78.11.0 with "gnome-support" package. Same problem in safe mode. Description: By default in this context, TB is a Wayland task. When opening a compose windows (or reply or transfer), sending mail apparently close the windows, but gnome shell continue to show multiple "points", as if multiple windows are still active. And after closing TB, it seems maintained in the same state, so it becomes impossible to relaunch it from the desk. But task manager of "looking glass" does not show it and it is possible to launch from terminal. Provisional solution: Modify .desktop file to launch with --display=:0 option, that force to use XWayland interface, as shown by xlsclients (for example). But it is actually a bug under Wayland context, that also badly interfer with many add-ons or extensions.
