Works extremely well, until I try crouch-jumping (space-ctrl-W). Firefox interprets this as ctrl-w and asks me if I want to close the tab (and the mouse pointer doesn't get re-confined again).

I'm not even using a QWERTY layout, so I have to contort to press W... It's a common issue with US-made games.

And OS maybe, had no problems on KDE.

That's on sway. I can try KDE, but I'd be surprised if the result is different. Just pressing ctrl-w opens the popup and definitely breaks pointer confinement.
