Package: mutter
Version: 48.4-2
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

Mapping a tablet to a specific monitor using gnome-settings is broken.

The problem is described upstream and seems resolved for gnome 49 but not
backported to gnome 48.

Bug upstream:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/4045

Upstream fix:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/4538

I would have to rebuild the package to test the fix (not done yet).

Tarik
