After switching from Win11 to #fedora a few months back, I was really happy because everything worked really well. Now I am running into two nasty bugs that I guess some update have brought.
1) the foreground app does not catch mouse clicks, instead the background app does.

Any helpful comments are appreciated - I'm still relatively new to #linux.

Hit ok 6) Close Pinta using X in upper right hand corner, in dialo...
