One of the major issues with the old tracking code is a data race
between the cursor thread updating g_cursor.guest and the
app_handleMouseBasic function. Specifically, the latter may have
sent mouse input via spice that has not been processed by the guest
and updated g_cursor.guest, but the guest may overwrite g_cursor.guest
to a previous state before the input is processed. This causes some
movements to be doubled. Eventually, the cursor positions will
synchronize, but this nevertheless causes a lot of jitter.
In this commit, we introduce a new field g_cursor.projected, which
is unambiguously the position of the cursor after taking into account
all the input already sent via spice. This is synced up to the guest
cursor upon entering the window and when the host restarts. Afterwards,
all mouse movements will be based on this position. This eliminates
all cursor jitter as far as I could tell.
Also, the cursor is now synced to the host position when exiting
capture mode.
A downside of this commit is that if the 1:1 movement patch is not
correctly applied, the cursor position would be wildly off instead
of simply jittering, but that is an unsupported configuration and
should not matter.
Also unsupported is when an application in guest moves the cursor
programmatically and bypassing spice. When using those applications,
capture mode must be on. Before this commit, we try to move the guest
cursor back to where it should be, but it's inherently fragile and
may lead to scenarios such as wild movements in first-person shooters.
We used to test for the EGL_KHR_platform_base and EGL_EXT_platform_base,
but those only really signal the availability of eglGetPlatformDisplay(EXT)
functions, not whether the constant EGL_PLATFORM_WAYLAND_KHR or
EGL_PLATFORM_WAYLAND_EXT is accepted by their respective functions.
Instead, we switch to test for the extensions that tells us whether the
Wayland platform is supported.
Using a macro ENABLE_OPENGL just like ENABLE_EGL to optionally remove
OpenGL implementation code. This is mostly because on Wayland it's just
a rehash of the EGL code (as EGL is the only way to create OpenGL
contexts on Wayland).
`$DISPLAY` will be set even in a Wayland session, which causes LG to
initialize itself under Xwayland unless it is explicitly compiled with
`-DENABLE_X11=OFF`.
We could add a Wayland check within the X11 backend, but reordering the
code-generated array seems like a better solution.
We ask for 32-bit colour buffer when creating the EGL context. On Wayland,
this sometimes give contexts with alpha channels, resulting in unwanted
transparency. So we clear the alpha channel in the desktop shader.
We also switch to using constant alpha for blending the splash, which
avoids more alpha issues.
As the window manager may change our mode to full screen without our
request we must ask the ds backend for the current state when we want to
toggle the mode.
When input:grabKeyboardOnFocus=no, exiting capture mode should ungrab
the keyboard. Otherwise, focusing the window doesn't grab the keyboard,
but toggling capture mode would leave the keyboard stuck in a grabbed
state until defocused.
This effectively reverts 4bceaf5.

Commit 941c651 makes working around the hang in LG itself not as
annoying as before.
In the future, we can bypass this entire issue by implementing our own
swapchain and listening to frame callbacks ourselves.
While a compositor will never send us 0-delta motion events, they can
still end up as 0-deltas post-projection, consuming QEMU buffer space
for no reason.
This should help with mouse skipping issues.
Before this, copying rich text ends up with a lot of funky behaviour,
for example:
* copying text from Discord shows up as HTML unless pasted into a text
editor first
* copying text from Firefox shows up as the single letter h
This commit fixes all the above issues.
Due to the change in logic, we now use the first text format offered
instead of the last, which is almost certainly the preferred form.
Doing this gets us proper Unicode support, or Unicode characters would
end up as escapes of the form \uXXXX (this is used in the fallback
forms for applications without UTF-8 support).
If the renderer fails to start it sets the run state to stopped, having
lgInit where it was causes this to be reset to running triggering
invalid usage of g_state.lgmp.
Under some circumstances, Looking Glass can hang when SIGINT'd, for
instance, if it's stuck waiting on spice I/O that won't complete because
the guest is misbehaving.
This commit provides an escape hatch for such cases, so one doesn't have
to reach for `kill -9 $(pidof looking-glass-client)`.
We are forced to use accelerated movement in regular mode as that is how the
host machine cursor moves and we want the cursors to line up (since Wayland
cannot do warps). To avoid a change in sensitivity when toggling capture
mode on/off, we should use accelerated deltas for capture mode as well,
unless the user explicitly asks for raw input with input:rawMouse.
It does not make sense to accumulate fractional error in non-capture mode
as you know exactly where the cursor is supposed to be, at least on Wayland.
On Wayland, we base movements on the current guest position and desired
target position, and the accumulated errors only skew our movements.
Build failed with _FORTIFY_SOURCE enabled because the compiler couldn't
ensure the switch statements didn't hit the default arm and thus wouldn't
define the variables. Adding a statically failing assert makes sure that
all code paths either define the variables or fail early.

When using the meta resize feautre the cursor is over the client window,
and as such the application continues to receive motion events. This
causes the window size to spaz out.
As the screen output rotation can be changed on the fly, if it has been
rotated to 90 or 270 the nearest flag will be incorrect, so we perform
this check here and override the provided value.
This is an ugly hack for now that will get us over the line for Beta 3,
after which will need to be addressed and people will need to be
informed that their configured escape key will have changed.
If the guest has it's output rotated (ie, landscape) we must rotate and
translate the pointer draw location, as well as all the translations of
cursor coordinate spaces based on the rotation, along with any local
rotations that may also be applied.
It appears that Wayland pointer motion handlers are called even when relative
mouse mode is enabled. The events they generate break first-person games.
This commit disables those handlers when relative mouse is enabled.
Unless the corresponding mouse down event was on our surface, we should
not be receiving the mouse up.
This is always the case on Wayland. On some other platforms,
SDL_CaptureMouse can be used to obtain input that happens outside the
Looking Glass surface, but Looking Glass does not make use of that
function.
We may want to process a mouse up if the corresponding mouse down
initiated a drag (e.g., of a window) that was released slightly outside
of the Looking Glass surface. Previously, Looking Glass would ignore the
mouse up, and the guest would be confused into thinking the button had
never been released, not ending the drag.
zwp_relative_pointer_manager_v1 and zwp_pointer_constraints_v1 are
supported by GNOME/KDE/sway (and most other compositors), but they are
not a required part of the protocol.
Some users also run software in one-off nested compositors like cage[0]
for an extra layer of isolation; cage, at least, does not support
pointer captures.
This commit makes Looking Glass warn when an optional protocol is
unsupported, and fail if a required one is missing. Pointer grab paths
have a new guard against the aforementioned protocols being missing.
