Strange select all and input entry behavior on GTK apps

Wondering if others experience this or if it's just my setup. I've tried searching for open issues that describe this behavior but haven't had much luck yet.

I believe it only affects GTK apps but when I'm at an input text box on an app, hitting ctrl-a doesn't actually select all the input most of the time. If I hold ctrl-a for a few seconds, it eventually succeeds. This only happens to me in hyprland.

If this isn't a known issue I'll put more time into describing it and testing exactly which input dialogs are affected.

  • I doesn't have same issue on my GTK apps, both when on native wayland or on xwayland mode. What is your setup? are you use nvidia card?

    • I have a desktop with nvidia and a laptop with Intel and it seems to happen with both.

      If it's not a common issue I might try a completely default hypr config. I feel it also tends to happen more on older gtk apps.
