As part of the soon-to-be-released second and last scheduled point release of the GNOME 3.22 desktop environment for GNU/Linux distributions, the GNOME Shell and Mutter components have received new versions earlier today, November 10, 2016.

GNOME Shell 3.22.2 and Mutter 3.22.2 are now available for download, and it looks like they bring various improvements to make your GNOME 3.22 desktop experience better, especially of you're using the next-generation Wayland display server.

For example, the Mutter 3.22.2 window and composite manager release fixes various placement issues and several crashes on Wayland, and also repairs the functionality that allowed users to switch between edge and two-finger-scrolling on the Wayland session.

Mutter 3.22.2 also makes sure that pop-up grabs will no longer block Wayland's screen lock feature. Other changes include improvements to the pointer constraints support, better stage view support for the Mirror mode, and a framebuffer capture origin offset fix.

Last but not least, Mutter 3.22.2 addresses an issue that made the session to go into idle mode as soon as the desktop started up, and implements a new functionality that ensures docks are being stacked below other windows on full-screen monitors.

GNOME Shell 3.22.2 improves wireless support

On the other hand, the GNOME Shell 3.22.2 user interface update fixes some glitches reported by users with the OSD (On-screen display) pop-up, always displays primary network icon when connected, and improves wireless support by requesting periodic scans when the Wi-Fi list is opened.

There are also a few other small bug fixes, so check out the changelog attached below for more details. The Norwegian Bokmal, Simplified Chinese, Polish, Russian, Thai, and Friulian language translations have been updated. GNOME Shell 3.22.2 and Mutter 3.22.2 will be distributed as part of the forthcoming GNOME 3.22.2 desktop release.
