Let me know of any not-already-known issue.
- On-screen keyboard sometimes needs a long press followed a short press to reappear.

That’s an interesting suggestion. If they want it, I’m more than happy to contribute. I just don’t know what they think of keeping a flag for this particular quirk of this particular Wayland-compatible server.
Maybe in Firefox 138 and earlier it’d have been easier because very few lines change. I don’t have a patch for the latest Firefox though and would only work on it if I know Moizlla wants it.
