Problem with "sub-windows" in CentOS 7.4 GNOME

Post by Abdelrahman Said » 2017/10/16 00:50:17

After updating to 7.4, I have been experiencing some issues with sub-windows (not sure if that is the correct term).

Take for instance the Wacom Control Panel. Everything there works really well.. I can tweak the settings, and do all I need to do. However, the moment I click 'Calibrate', which should open an overlay on the screen where I click some targets to calibrate the stylus properly, it doesn't open. The only thing that happens is a rectangle appears on the bottom panel with the title 'gnome-control-center' as if there is a window that is going to open, then it quickly disappears.

The same issue happens also in another program I use.. DaVinci Resolve... the timeline view options in that program is supposed to open a small screen overlay where I change the settings... The moment I click it, it flashes on the screen really quickly, then disappears.

I am sure this is a GNOME only issue, because I have tried KDE, and I don't have the same problem there. I could have used KDE, but it presents other issues, so it would be easier to stick with GNOME and try finding a solution to this one problem I am having.

Have anyone encountered a similar issue OR does anyone have any idea how I can fix it?
