I have the same issue. What is the Wayland window system and how do I change it to something with less bugs? My screen flickers, I can't change my display resolution like I use to be able to, I can't drag n drop file to folders from the archive manager anymore and my bluetooth headphone disconnect moments after a video or audio stops playing. Can I downgrade back to 21.04?

This bug also happens to me on 22.04 using Wayland.
There are some visual elements that tell the user the file is going to get drag extracted (if you hover the drag over a folder it reacts properly) but no extraction is made

Will this be fixed ? 22.04 Ubuntu Wayland, bug still exists. It's unassigned ?
