Package: libglfw3
Version: 3.3.2-1

In the currently packaged version of libglfw3, there is a bug that causes
for inputs to be delayed or ignored in the X11 session (and also Wayland
via Xwayland) which causes a frustrating experience in affected games. This
issue is fixed in this commit:
https://github.com/glfw/glfw/commit/9a3664b4a992a5a9b669179098542b0f882dece7,
but Debian does not package the fixed version (3.3.3 and newer).

I suggest that the issue is fixed by updating libglfw3 to version 3.3.3 or
newer. It would also be possible to fix the issue by patching the current
version with the commit referred to above.

I am using Ubuntu 21.10, kernel 5.13.0-23-generic, and libc6 2.34-0ubuntu3.
