I wonder if it makes more sense to expose the sharing state and controls via DBus and let the desktop environment handle displaying an indicator.
That would solve this issue entirely. Currently there is no universal way for Wayland clients to directly position views (layer-shell does it but is but non-standardized), but with a DBus interface, the desktop can take of this in a way that fits better into the environment. As an example, the desktop could show the indicator as a new widget visually similar to what Firefox does on non-Wayland desktops, or it could also place it into the status area of the panel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1925837 Title: [Wayland] Sharing indicator window is not frameless Status in Mozilla Firefox: Fix Released Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in firefox source package in Impish: Confirmed Bug description: I'm running updated hirsute with the firefox 87.0+build3-0ubuntu4 deb, just as it comes. This system was a fresh install of 20.10 that was then upgraded to 21.04. When I have a tab that will start using my webcam/mic, there is a new ff window that is created with these icons. The window is (more or less) minimized to fit the size of the icons (see screenshot). I can close the window by clicking the normal x, and closing this window does not interrupt my webcam/mic usage. What I normally expect is that when my webcam/mic is being used by some ff tab, the ff/webcam/mic icons are displayed constantly in the top middle of my display. --- ProblemType: Bug AddonCompatCheckDisabled: False ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu65 Architecture: amd64 BuildID: 20210318103112 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown Channel: Unavailable CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DefaultProfileExtensions: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing DefaultProfileIncompatibleExtensions: Unavailable (corrupt or non-existant compatibility.ini or extensions.sqlite) DefaultProfileLocales: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing DefaultProfilePrefErrors: Unexpected character ',' before close parenthesis @ /usr/lib/firefox/omni.ja:greprefs.js:352 DefaultProfileThemes: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing DistroRelease: Ubuntu 21.04 ForcedLayersAccel: False InstallationDate: Installed on 2021-01-04 (108 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.10 "Groovy Gorilla" - Release amd64 (20201022) IpRoute: default via 192.168.0.1 dev enp3s0 proto dhcp metric 100 10.0.3.0/24 dev lxcbr0 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.3.1 linkdown 169.254.0.0/16 dev virbr0 scope link metric 1000 linkdown 192.168.0.0/24 dev enp3s0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.6 metric 100 192.168.122.0/24 dev virbr0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.122.1 linkdown Package: firefox 87.0+build3-0ubuntu4 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: TERM=screen PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.11.0-16.17-generic 5.11.12 Profile0Extensions: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing Profile0IncompatibleExtensions: Unavailable (corrupt or non-existant compatibility.ini or extensions.sqlite) Profile0Locales: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing Profile0PrefErrors: Unexpected character ',' before close parenthesis @ /usr/lib/firefox/omni.ja:greprefs.js:352 Profile0PrefSources: prefs.js Profile0Themes: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing Profiles: Profile1 (Default) - LastVersion=None/None (Out of date) Profile0 - LastVersion=87.0/20210318103112 (In use) RunningIncompatibleAddons: False Tags: wayland-session hirsute Uname: Linux 5.11.0-16-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip kvm libvirt lpadmin lxd plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True dmi.bios.date: 03/21/2014 dmi.bios.release: 4.6 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 1402 dmi.board.asset.tag: To be filled by O.E.M. dmi.board.name: P8Z77-V LK dmi.board.vendor: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. dmi.board.version: Rev X.0x dmi.chassis.asset.tag: Asset-1234567890 dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: Chassis Manufacture dmi.chassis.version: Chassis Version dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr1402:bd03/21/2014:br4.6:svnSystemmanufacturer:pnSystemProductName:pvrSystemVersion:rvnASUSTeKCOMPUTERINC.:rnP8Z77-VLK:rvrRevX.0x:cvnChassisManufacture:ct3:cvrChassisVersion: dmi.product.family: To be filled by O.E.M. dmi.product.name: System Product Name dmi.product.sku: SKU dmi.product.version: System Version dmi.sys.vendor: System manufacturer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1925837/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
