bug: cursor warping on wayland/gnome 44

[zoriya]

Description

What is the bug?

The cursor should follow the active window when selecting it with shortcuts, but the mouse is never moved by forge.

Problem Explanation

I don't know if it is a wayland, gnome 44 or something else restriction but the gdkDisplay.get_default_seat().get_pointer().wrap() does nothing. Cursor wraping does not work, neither on forge nor popshell. I am not familiar with gdk's api so I don't really know if this the API changed or if it just broke.

The bug happens when you want to wrap the window.

Expected Behavior

The cursor should wrap to the selected window on keybind.

Reprodution

How one can find the bug?

Steps To Reproduce

I only tested on wayland/gnome 44.

1. Open two applications
2. Select the other application via keybinds

Hi @zoriya - unfortunately, GDK 4.0 in GJS does not expose this anymore - here is the info I got from GTK 4.0. It recommends to use the XWarpPointer native API.

https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/migrating-3to4.html#stop-using-gdk_pointer_warp

This is extra work to put back a wrapper. Unless we have it on the GJS APIs, I would mark this as unable to fix for now.
