Mir-kiosk electron keyboard and mouse input

Hi,

I made a simple electron mir-kiosk snap. Everything is working as expected. But I cannot get mouse or keyboard working. In the mir-kiosk window you cannot click on any of the elements.

Is there an interface I need to connect? Like x11

the mir/wayland interface should give you full access to /dev/input through mir-kiosk … do you see a mouse cursor and does it move ?

I meet a problem that I can move mouse and keyboard has response but click event has no effect, is it same with yours?

How did you solve it? For me the keyboard works. For the mouse, I can see the cursor moving. But click does nothing.

#sudo vim /var/snap/mir-kiosk/current/miral-kiosk.config
arw-file=
console-provider=vt
env-hacks=MIR_MESA_KMS_DISABLE_MODESET_PROBE
vt=4
show-splash=false
display-layout=kiosk
cursor=auto

I am not sure this will help, I get this in the electron log
