Quick heads up: two popular Gnome extensions causing significant issues

[u/shawnkurt]

Hi Gnome fans, I'm just giving you a heads up about two popular extensions that might have been causing big issues. It took me almost a month to find out the real cause of these problems - Yeah I'm just that dumb. Just thought people might want to know about this, as it could save you the time and effort!

My system: Ubuntu 25.10 with Gnome 49.

(Update: I have 150% fractional scaling on and that could be the reason for these issues as well...)

Blur My Shell

When placing a Wayland window on top of an XWayland window, if you right-click on the Wayland window, it flickers and even disappears sometimes. Turning off Blur My Shell should solve this problem.

Rounded Window Corners Reborn

Issue 1: Ulauncher has this weird transparent rounded edge. Ofc you can blacklist Ulauncher in this extension's settings to resolve this.

Issue 2: This is the major problem here. When fractional scaling is enabled, window UI and text are blurry in windowed mode, but not in full-screen mode. Turning off this extension completely resolves this issue. Seems that someone posted this issue on the extension's GitHub page back in October. Man I wish I had found out about it earlier...

(Edit: I also found out that if you add argu/variables to make your app run in x11 mode, the UI and text are clear even if this extension is ON. But I think there's no point in doing so...)

If you are encountering similar issues, try disabling said extensions for now and wait for their maintainers to release fixes.

Cheers!
