I'm guessing that when emacs is run as a console/TUI application, it avoids
the problem.

At the moment the PC in question is used by me for printing and/or scanning
things so I can live with the Wayland issues.

I was hoping to gain the attention of any Wayland developers out there, in
cases they wanted to fix a bug and needed access to a system with the bug
and an end-user who is prepared to patiently try things and report back.

BW,


Ian
