Lazarus IDE also uses LCL and its underlying widgetsets. I guess other QT5 and GTK3 apps work, thus the problem is in LCL binding code. They should be studied and fixed case by case. I don't think GTK2 should be used with Wayland. GTK2 was made before Wayland existed. Do distros that use Wayland by default still include GTK2 applications? BTW, the mail you copied is from me but I forgot the context. libXtst library dependency was removed from somewhere.

[Lazarus] Lazarus and Wayland display manager
Just trying lazarus on new distribution nobara ( Fedora clone ) with wayland, but it seems that the IDE sometimes get in trouble with this display manager wayland. Changed back to x11 that is much better. Lazarus 3.99 (rev main_3_99-1123-gd2954c9818) FPC 3.2.2 x86_64-linux-gtk2 In Lazarus mailing list i found: On Mon, Feb 22, 2021 at 10:52 AM Juha Manninen wrote: > The libXtst library dependency pulled in for Linux (and UNIX) was a > 100% increase of system dependencies for a Lazarus release, and for > absolutely no benefit. > Now Lazarus BigIde depends on just libgtk2.0-dev. > Ok, that was not accurate. Many other system libraries are pulled in by libgtk2.0-dev. However in a distro package system level it is the only requirement. Adding dependency for X brings another problem: Lazarus would not work with Wayland display server. Now it works if the widgetset supports Wayland. Major widgetsets like GTK3 and QT5 do support it. Not sure about GTK2. Juha Is that still true ... ? Wayland in general has strange issues?! -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
