Unreal Editor 5.7 UI interaction is broken on Linux for ~3 month already

Still happening on the non-preview release of UE 5.7.0, less often but with many other issues:

  • Can’t click to switch to Editor Settings/Project Settings menus docked in the toolbar
  • Can’t click Buttons in popup menus
  • Can’t focus some windows
  • Cant’ open assets from content browser
  • Cant’ drag windows

Keyboard shortcut seem to work, the issue is with the mouse only, if I try to record the issue with ShareX and I press Shift+PrintScr it starts to function again so here’s a video recorded with my phone: :sweat_smile::eggplant:


Edit: The Windows issue was completely unrelated to the Linux one, i found a temporary solution here: Unreal 5.7 Ui not working? - #3 by ILunin
