Hi Paul,

same problem here, and setting the environment variable as you showed
allowed to move the fighter while firing.

Unfortunately, the mouse movements are buggy, as sometimes they are
transiently limited in the horizontal or vertical range of the screen
that they can cover.

I can not tell if it is a separate bug or a side effect of the
workaround you proposed above.

If the environment variable setting is the correct solution for this
bug, how about changing `/usr/games/chromium-bsu/` to a script that
checks for something like `$XDG_SESSION_TYPE == 'wayland'` and
sets `SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland` accordingly if true ?

Have a nice day,

Charles
