Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
X-Debbugs-Cc: mutter at packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:mutter

Please unblock package mutter

[ Reason ]
Fix X11 focus regressions (#1031945, possibly others)

[ Impact ]
If not accepted, for users of "GNOME on Xorg", switching keyboard layout
or input method with Super+Space causes windows to lose focus (#1031945).
The default GNOME session (using Wayland) is unaffected.

There might be additional focus weirdness fixed by this. I had hoped that
this would fix the related bug #1032388, but in fact that doesn't seem
to have been the case (and I've opened a separate upstream bug for that).

Additionally, this version expands build-time test coverage, by fixing a
test script that failed on non-merged-/usr systems instead of disabling
it, and updates some patches that were applied upstream to incorporate
minor adjustments made by the upstream maintainer.

[ Tests ]
autopkgtests pass, and the proposed package has been in unstable for a week
without apparent regressions.

[ Risks ]
Highly visible package (part of our default desktop environment), but the
changes are isolated and have been taken from an upstream change in the
GNOME 44 branch, confirmed to resolve similar issues. There have been
no related fixes in the GNOME 44 branch (currently in upstream freeze)
since then; if there are, they'll be backported to the GNOME 43 branch,
either by upstream or in Debian.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing

[ Other info ]
The current changelog claims to have fixed #1032388, which was subsequently
reopened. I can do a new upload with the changelog clarified if the release
team would prefer that, but it would need some more age-days.
