Reload the played scene button not working as expected on Ubuntu

[nubels]

Tested versions

4.5.1.stable

System information

Godot v4.5.1.stable - Ubuntu 25.10 25.10 on Wayland - X11 display driver, Multi-window, 2 monitors - OpenGL 3 (Compatibility) - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (nvidia; 580.95.05) - AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor (16 threads) - 60.72 GiB memory

Issue description

After pressing the Run Project, Run Current Scene, or Run Specific Scene button, it turns into a circular arrow with the description "Reload the played scene" but when you press it, it just stops the running scene instead of restarting it.

I only observed this issue on Ubuntu, it doesn't seem to occur on Windows or macOS.

Steps to reproduce

1. Press the Run Project, Run Current Scene, Run Specific Scene buttons either by clicking them or by using the respective keyboard shortcut
2. Press the chosen button again by clicking it or by using the respective keyboard shortcut
3. The project doesn't restart

Sounds like:

• Reloading the current scene when using a separate game window doesn't reopen the game (Wayland) #111175

Also are you using Wayland or X11, you list both, or is that just how it displays it?

I'm using Wayland, not sure how Godot handles that.

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
wayland

It looks like Godot displays both when you are on Wayland but Godot itself is running through XWayland. When you set Prefer Wayland editor setting to true, Godot will display only Wayland in system info.
