Fixes #1127.
Cause:
The code was successfully intercepting
TOUCH_ENDand runningthis.end(). Workaround of faking a virtual mouse click to drop the grab only works for mouse/pointer grabs. Mutter ignores the fake mouse click if the grab was started by a touch sequence, leaving the grab stuck open.Fix:
Since hitting
Escacts as a global kill-switch for Mutter grabs, this PR adds avirtualKeyboarddevice. Alongside the fake mouse click, it now fires a virtualEscapekeypress during cleanup. This successfully breaks the touch grab.Tested on CachyOS / GNOME 50 and it works perfectly!
