Hi, I know the issue title is horrible and my details will not become any more useful :D
but here it goes. I play a lot of ddnet which uses SDL2 and I am on archlinux so SDL2 means SDL2-compat. It always has been a bit wonkey. For example tabbing between two fullscreen instances would sometimes release my cursor from the game. But recently it has gotten REALLY bad. Like unplayable bad. The game is supposed to trap the cursor inside. This no longer works my cursor always escapes onto the second screen. I am on gnome 49 with wayland. I can do some shenanigans with pressing super and clicking into the game to sometimes trap the cursor. But also the fonts look a bit off. And sometimes the ctrl key seems to be held. As in keyboard combinations involving ctrl are activated without the physical key being pressed. Some textures are rendered in visible lower resolution. I know this is a pile of chaos. And some things might be my nvidia driver or wayland or gnome or whoever else is involved here.

Anyways I will be actively monitoring this issue because I desperately need this to work again to please my severe ddnet addiction. Ask me anything. I am ready to debug this if I am given some pointers on what to do.
