This new maintenance release follows the decision to skip version 47.5, delivering various fixes to enhance stability.<\/p>\n<p>Among the notable changes, the Mutter window and composite manager received a significant fix for a black screen issue that many users experienced. Freely sharing surfaces is now better supported with NVIDIA as the primary GPU, improving usability across the system.<\/p>\n<p>The update also restores Epiphany&#8217;s search functionality within the history dialog, rectifies a crashing issue in GNOME Calculator when using the Shift+Insert key, and includes a workaround in GNOME Console to prevent crashes. Moreover, initialization troubles with X11 displays in xdg-desktop-portal-gnome were resolved.<\/p>\n<p>Nautilus, the Files manager, underwent multiple bug fixes enhancing file view transitions, improving selector behavior for Google Drive files, and ensuring proper space calculation during archive extractions. Additional adjustments include a correction for search cancellations in GNOME Text Editor and a fix for GNOME Software&#8217;s Flatpak plugin while updating operations.<\/p>\n<p>GNOME Maps benefits from a fix ensuring accurate timezone offsets in MOTIS results, aligning timestamps appropriately for daylight saving time. Also addressed were issues in the GNOME Control Center concerning duplicate entries in the Keyboard panel and memory access problems in the Network panel.<\/p>\n<p>For a complete overview of the changes in GNOME 47.6, users are encouraged to check the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/discourse.gnome.org\/t\/gnome-47-6-released\/28414\">release announcement page<\/a>.
