If you have a problem during any system update with mutter-performance & gnome-shell-performance, please install mutter & gnome-shell packages from the main repository and do full upgrade first, then build the performance packages later.

If you are using [gnome-unstable] and [extra-testing] repositories, use gnome-shell-performance-unstable

To enable a specific MR in the Merge Requests List, add an line "_merge_requests_to_use+=('<MR number>')" at the end of PKGBUILD. (Because if you edit the line directly you can be able to end up with merge conflict upon updates.)

If you are getting errors like fatal: bad revision '73e8cf32' while building this package, refer to PKGBUILD and see which patches caused this. Then, go to the related URLs, replace the commit hashes. If there are conflicts, comment out the patches.

Please notify me in comment section if this happens.

The optional patches for performance and fixes are by default enabled.

Hi, I'm getting the error

fatal: bad revision '1a3c98bd' ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare(). Aborting... checking dependencies...

when updating to the latest package. Any insight? I've tried clean building already.

MR #689 hash changed to 46602fd6

I'm currently testing MR 22, 136, and 666.

Will report results after testing is complete.

Edit: currently results in broken animations

@Terence @chrisjbillington That sounds surprisingly like the issue I was having a few releases ago, where "frequent" apps page, the icons would vanish as I moused over them. I was not running any custom themes or sessions, and this was before I had installed any third party Gnome Shell extensions. Fresh Arch install, in fact.

Of course, I have since wiped that drive and replaced it with BitLocker encrypted NTFS storage for my Windows installation, so I won't be much use at future bug testing.

@chrisjbillington it's fine, you were not the only one with the problem and you managed to find the solution yourself ;) The bug you are experiencing should be unrelated to this, I suggest both of you to try to disable !711 in mutter and report back there if it was indeed the issue.

@truongan I am seeing this too. Since 3.32.2+10+g2483b6038-6 was just about trying to fix the invisible-search-results bug, it can probably be reverted.

@Terence apologies for wasting your time. I have reported the bug to Yaru here: https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/issues/1434

There could be regression in '3.32.2+10+g2483b6038-6', when multiple window overlap, shell may fail to register a click on which the mouser was hovering, and register a click on the active window instead. Revert to 3.32.2+10+g2483b6038-5 helped

Ah that explains it @crisjbillington, I'll add a pin comment saying to be sure to have extensions disabled and use adwaita theme before reporting an issue. In the meanwhile, try to patch the theme or just disable this MR locally.
