    What would be the proper place to report two of my issues I'm having with GNOME 3.34?

    GNOME's Magnifier and Touchscreen
    Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.


    I'm not sure if I should report a bug related to either Mutter or libinput regarding touchscreen in a convertible laptop. As far as I know, this will probably not affect Librem 5, as Librem 5 uses a different keyboard and compositor.


    GNOME Magnifier not taking advantage of 200% DPI scaling
    Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.


    I have already reported the bug about the magnifier not working with HiDPI, but got no response so far.
    I want to share a YouTube video about the issues due to Zoom feature not taking advantage of HiDPI scaling. Do excuse the flickering, as my computer can't...


    Any help is appreciated.

      It was third party developers that forked GIMP. Not GNOME project. So your comment doesn't make much sense

        Also, the name "git" is a perfectly good verb in the American Southwest and in gaming circles (git gud). That's a little different.

            The issue seems affecting mainly Xorg session. GNOME Magnifier works as intended on Wayland session as tested on Fedora 31 Workstation running on Wayland by default. The hardware for test is 2018 HP Envy x360 Ryzen 2500U Convertible.

            I have already reported the bug about the magnifier not working with HiDPI, but got no response so far.

            Your bug report is incomplete. Make sure to include the hardware information reproducing the issue, the name of the distribution where the issue occurred and which session (Xorg or Wayland).

              This one should also help:
              There are notably 4 classes of GTypes where a girepository lookup might fail: - GTypes from private interfaces in public objects (eg. MetaCullable in mutter) - GTypes for private base...


              gjs in gnome-shell calls that g_irepository_find_by_type function with private gtypes a lot for some reason. So lots of useless "scan the whole public repository for the type, only to find nothing and return NULL" will be gone in 3.36. It could improve animation performance and reduce lag on older machines, and save power on all machines.

                For me, if they drop javascript for extensions (that OFTEN causes freezes and crashes to my gnome-shell) would be a GREAT advance....

                  Well nobody forces you to use extensions, you can use GNOME without them if you want. An extension system is kind of nice I guess. I guess there would be same problem if there was another extension system.
                  Extension developers could write their extensions in TypeScript then compile them down to JavaScript.

                    If you think using a different language would fix the issue then you don’t understand the problem.
