I didn't notice Wayland becoming the default, tbh. Thanks for mentioning this. As for the specific bug, it was introduced by the implementation of a non-essential feature (the languague switch HUD) which was then left in place, likely because the Wayland transition was juuust around the corner. While Wayland does address many architectural issues, I don't think X users should deal with regressions caused by Wayland-optimized features just yet (and definitely not 8 or so years ago).
