[Linux] Switching between mouse and touch makes a window undraggable #1019

Description

@12people

Steps to reproduce

  • Open up a Yaru window on a Linux laptop with a touch screen
  • Use the mouse (or trackpad) to drag the window around
  • Use a finger to move the window around
  • Try to use the mouse (or trackpad) to drag the window around

Expected result

Window should move.

Actual result

Window doesn't move.

Additional info

I tested this in GTK apps too, to see if this isn't a driver problem or similar. GTK apps don't have this problem, so it's most likely a Yaru package bug.

Also, it's worth mentioning that navigating to a different screen within the app suddenly makes dragging work again.

System info

Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
x86-64 processor (AMD Ryzen 5 4500U with Radeon Graphics x 6)
