Expected Behavior
Browser Docks can be used pinned to the main window and floating as a separate window.
Current Behavior
When opening Browser Docks (e.g. Twitch login or adding a custom one) it works fine. After pinning it to the main window I can still interact with my system. Once i click in the pinned dock however, all windows which are already open become complete unresponsive.
Fortunately I am able to open a terminal to kill OBS Studio, afterwards all other applications work fine again.
Steps to Reproduce
- Launch OBS.
- Add a custom browser dock containing any website (e.g. google.com)
- (At this point everything works fine, including clicking on links on the website)
- Pin the dock to the main window.
- (At this point everything still works)
- Interact in any way with the pinned browser dock.
- Try to click anywhere, no window is responsive.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the freeze through OBS Browser Docks using the reported Arch Linux, Flatpak, X.Org setup, and inspect the linked OBS log. Verify the pinned custom dock path and compare it with a floating dock; done means interacting with the pinned dock no longer makes other open applications unresponsive.
