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. I usually notice this after downloading a file in #vivaldi #browser and clicking the "download finished" notification, upon which the files app opens in the foreground... but whatever click I make, Vivaldi receives the click. This also happens with other apps in fore- and background. The only fix I have found is to restart the PC.

2) I open a jpg file with #Pinta to add a brush stroke. When I want to save it, I get an error message. The only way to close Pinta is to choose "close without saving" - upon which not only my changes are gone, Pinta has also deleted the image file.
I have reported this as bug 2137414 https://bugs.launchpad.net/pinta/+bug/2137414

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

Bug #2137414 “Saving jpg not working, deletes file instead” : Bugs : Pinta

I open an image downloaded from my Synology NAS, add a paintbrush stroke, and want to save it. Result: error saving the file, and when I close pinta without saving changes, the original file is deleted. Steps (using Fedora 43): 1) Download an image from my Synology NAS Photos app in "original" format (example attached) 2) Open image with Pinta 3) Add a paintbrush stroke 4) Choose File - Save 5) Error message appears (below). Hit ok 6) Close Pinta using X in upper right hand corner, in dialo...

great immediate answer to my bug report for pinta - the #fedora package manager offers three options to install, and the ones from the fedora.org repository are stuck at Pinta version 1.x from 4 years ago. The current version which is available in the flathub repository is version 3.0.4, which does not show the issue.

So I learned something new today: check the repositories in the fedora gui package manager and don't assume that fedora.org will have the latest versions that actually work...

@WildEnte sometimes flatpaks do not offer a great integration with the system due their sandboxed approach
@GermanoMassullo well it's still better than beig stuck with a 4 year old rpm in the official repository...
I might be able to do everything with some dnf tricks, but I am not comfortable with the command line and prefer the GUI software manager...
