[fixed] Top Right Corner is not responding to clicks on Ubuntu Linux
I have an HP laptop with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS installed on it. I use this laptop for software development especially CLI apps and web development. I faced a weird bug. I hesitated too many days before confirming it is a real bug/issue.
I googled the problem and found too many people facing the same bug but they word it differently when they ask.
Here is some wordings of the problem/bug 🔗
- Right corner at Chrome not response to mouse click
- Top right area is not clickable in Ubuntu 23.04. I just not updated my ubuntu 22.10 to 23.04, and restarted my laptop multiple times, but the problem is still there.
- Cant click on right side of screen Ubuntu 23.04
- Top right area not clickable in Ubuntu 23.04
- Clicking on the top right corner fails
- Unable to resize with mouse, right half of window not clickable Ubuntu 24.04
- the buttons below the top bar (system tray) don’t work.
The fix 🔗
Some people says the issue is related to Anydesk program but actually it is related to the legacy app indicators Gnome extension.
So, the fix for that issue is to disable the legacy app indicators. No need to uninstall Anydesk. You can disable the extension from the extensions manager, but I prefer the commandline, so I use this command to disable it.
gnome-extensions disable [email protected]
Then restart your machine. You must reboot your computer for the fix to take effect. You can use this command to restart your computer if you like.
sudo reboot
After disabling that extension and restarting my laptop, the bug has gone. The issue is fixed. No problem whatsoever.
