I recently upgraded to GNOME 46 and it looks like I'm now missing the RM&C tool popup window. Standard view loses focus and I have to "Esc" to get it back. Settings windows opens fine.

gnome-shell is throwing this error:

Code: [Select]

gnome-shell[2679]: JS ERROR: TypeError: app is null
                                               WindowAttentionSource@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/windowAttentionHandler.js:65:13
                                               _onWindowDemandsAttention@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/windowAttentionHandler.js:37:22
                                               @resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/init.js:21:20

Edit: The window was opening but only 1x1px, in case anyone else runs into this on newer GNOME versions.

What Distro are you running?  I'm not seeing this issue with Gnome 46 on Arch Linux (I'm on 46.2 of both gnome-shell and mutter if that's helpful).  Do you see it on any other windows?

Not seeing it either in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

I got it back, apparently the window had minimized to 1x1px on my second monitor so I did not see it! I'm using Fedora 40 and have experienced lots of strange window positioning issues in recent gnome updates (46.2).

Ahh, using Wayland? I would assume so since Fedora 40 went Wayland by default. MC's windows don't work too well when using a Wayland session versus a X11 session. It works for the most part (thanks to XWayland) but you'll encounter issues like this unfortunately. I see it all the time with dialogs like when making library backups and the dialog that pops up that the backup finished or the about dialog box.

I also occasionally see the super tiny window issue, but have been seeing it intermittently for years (on a Wayland session).  It's a "once every couple of months" kind of issue so I never tried to chase it down.
