The GNOME Project released today GNOME 49.2 as the second point release to the latest GNOME 49 “Brescia” desktop environment series with various bug fixes and improvements.

Coming one and a half months after GNOME 49.1, the GNOME 49.2 release improves handling of sticky keys and tiled monitors, adds support for handling ignored modifiers when grabbing keys and buttons on X11, and adds extended layouts to the on-screen keyboard for German and Austrian users.

GNOME 49.2 also adds support for sorting the session list on the login screen by display name, reduces memory usage from thumbnails and correctly sorts loopback devices in the Nautilus file manager, and updates the keyboard shortcut for 300% (Ctrl + 3, 3) zoom in the Loupe image viewer to zoom to 300% instead of 200 %.
