A couple days ago I started getting this bug where every time I went and oppened a window, for example, the “configure krita…” window, it would create a dead zone on the middle of my screen making me unable to click, drag, paint in this zone.
When I closed up the program, the problem would persist, I even formatted my computer to see if it was related to something I installed but no, on a clean arch linux install with GNOME the problem would still happen, no matter if it was the krita flatpak, or the krita from the distro. (problem persist no matter if i’m using wayland or xorg)
I know its related to GNOME because I have a clean install of linux mint with the cinnamon desktop, and in there the bug doesnt happen in there.
Sounds similar to this I can’t draw in the center of the document on Fedora - #17 by freyalupen

Hello @lobinhoGuara and welcome to the forum!
@Takiro, exactly.
@lobinhoGuara: You are the second user today to report such an event, and if I remember correctly, the fourth in the recent past. Since the current version of Krita has been online since January 21st, I believe that Krita is affected by this issue, but it is not the cause. Because of the timing, I suspect it is related to some recent change in the affected distros (Arch & Fedora, (others?)).
I can’t offer you a solution at this time, but the following is what has been observed so far, if I remember correctly:
A workaround is to not use the window maximized, leaving a margin of one millimeter is enough. Today, it was reported that this is only the case with a newly created canvas, and that this canvas would behave normally after the first save and subsequent reload in Krita.

It’s probably a bug in Mutter (GNOME’s window manager) 48.3, similar to Windows (and sometimes gnome-shell elements) become unclickable (#4138) · Issues · GNOME / mutter · GitLab .
