Most Ubuntu users stick to the default session type which is now Wayland. And most Ubuntu users probably never open Thunderbird. So the subset of users affected by bug 1932328 is small compared to the overall set size (millions?). A fix is committed for bug 1932328 and coming in the next update.
We've been focussed on and discussing this issue for several years now, waiting for the right time to default to Wayland. We waited longer than other distros and made the switch in the April 2021 release. Asking to change it back for one Thunderbird bug makes no sense. Aside from anything else, you can just choose Xorg on the login screen if you don't like the Wayland session. Change it once and your choice is remembered. You will never see Wayland again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1916469 Title: Apps don't use Wayland by default Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in qdirstat package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in telegram-desktop package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: The Ubuntu universe has a big Wayland problem! What does that mean? So a lot of packages in the Universe repository are not compiled with Wayland support which is really bad and would lead to bad performance after 21.04 comes out. Here are the following packages that I detected with wrong compilation: telegram-desktop (Wayland support work with snap version) kiwix firefox (everything works fine with this env variable set:"MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1") To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1916469/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
