Dear Maintainer,

Under wayland chromium tab are unresponsible to mouse.

#ozone-platform-hint set to auto instead of default help here to detect
wayland.

Could you set this option ?

At least at this freeze time could you add a note on README.Debian ?

Note that in order to change the flags manually, I have executed "chromium
--ozone-platform=wayland"

Bastien

PS: set to patch because changing an option is like a patch

Now that I've cleared up some hard drive space, I set up a virtualbox
environment with KDE on bookworm. I wasn't able to reproduce this with
chromium 112.0.5615.49-2, with the X11 backend. Is it still happening
for you on chromium 112?
