Description
Environment
Windows build number: 10.0.22000.0
Your Distribution version: Ubuntu 21.04
Your WSLg version: Windows Subsystem for Linux WSLg Preview 1.0.26 (is this it?)
Steps to reproduce
Microsoft Edge:
- sudo apt install software-properties-common apt-transport-https wget
- wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
- sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/edge stable main"
- sudo apt install microsoft-edge-dev
- microsoft-edge
It runs full screen, and everything works, the I try exiting full screen/resizing, and I can't input anything anymore. It just hangs and I need to close it.
Firefox:
- sudo apt install firefox
firefox(orMOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 firefox)
It usually works, but it always freezes before I finish my work, it just stops accepting input then the WSL GUI Window can't be moved or closed. The only way to fix it is wsl --shutdown
Firefox WSL logs:
weston.log
pulseaudio.log
versions.txt.txt
Others
I also tried to run other GUI apps, they all evetually freeze.
Expected behavior
Not freeze.
Actual behavior
Freezing.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the attached weston.log, pulseaudio.log, and versions.txt.txt, then reproduce the Microsoft Edge resize freeze and Firefox input freeze in the listed Windows, Ubuntu, and WSLg environment. Compare behavior across the reported GUI apps; done means the applications remain responsive and their windows can be moved, resized, and closed without requiring wsl --shutdown.
