       I would like to complain about the hours of my life I have wasted fielding escalated customer support tickets about Zoom not working properly on our Linux distro (which for some reason is our problem rather than Zoom's despite their $24bn market cap and $1.6bn annual revenue) but I appreciate that it's not exactly the biggest thing to complain about today.

       @wjt FWIW, you have my permission to complain today.

       Zoom's annotation feature draws an always-on-top, fully-transparent window over the whole desktop whenever you are sharing your screen (regardless of whether you or anyone else is annotating), which in GNOME 43 (but not 47 for unknown reasons) causes it to be impossible to interact with any non-X11 windows. The workaround is to disable the annotation feature, which you can't do in the app, only in your account settings on the Zoom website.

       (Please do not reply to say that GNOME 43 is 2 years old and ask why we don't have a newer version.)
