Bug Description
Summary
=======
Device with nvidia GPU, using proprietary drivers, wayland activated by default.
By default, the scaling is set to 200% (the screen is UHD). If selecting 300%, all the windows close down, as well as the desktop icons (Home) as long as the mouse cursor is in the way.
To fix the issue, one has to open the Display Settings (while making sure the mouse cursor is never above any of the Settings windows!), then set Scaling back to 200% using the keyboard.
This problem does not happen in X11, and does not happen in Wayland if I select 100%, 200% or even 400% scaling!
Steps to reproduce
==================
- Install 22.04 beta, selecting "install third party software" to make sure ubuntu-drivers installs the appropriate proprietary nvidia drivers.
- After installation, make sure Wayland is in use (echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE should return `wayland`)
- Go to Settings > Display, select 300% scaling, then press Apply
Expected result
===============
The scaling is set to 300% and user can keep using the device.
Actual result
=============
The scaling is set to 300% and all the windows are shut down. If user tries to reopen a window (e.g. Terminal), it is shut down immediately if the mouse cursor is hovering it. The desktop icons keep disappearing and reappearing for as long as the mouse cursor is hovering the background.
The only way to stop this is to go back to Settings > Display, and, using the keyboard, set the scaling back to 200%.
