Pinta crashes on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on attempt to maximize/restore its window
Description Install app as Snap or via Flatpak - both have same issue.
To Reproduce Start application, then attempt to maximize/restore size of application window few times, paint some random strokes with brush. Application eventually crashes (very fast, just a few attempts needed).
Additional Info Just an observation: Version installed from standard Ubuntu repos (idk exact version number) on the older Ubuntu 22.04 LTS worked good and stable, and I always used Pinta but... on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS now I had to switch to KolourPaint, because it just works, and Pinta doesn't work anymore...
Version Ubuntu 24.04 LTS + KDE desktop Pinta 3.0.1
It would be great if you could provide terminal output from running
snap run pinta
Its likely you were still using the snap from Pinta 2 releases, which you can go back to with
sudo snap remove pinta --purge
sudo snap install pinta --channel=gtk3/stable
It likely won't get major new features but should get a load of improvements in format handling in the near future and continues to have security support provided by upstream for years. Hopefully by then the latest release could have this sorted for you if you prefer it.
I have uninstalled snap and have now version from flatpack. It has been updated to 3.0.2. Issue persists.

Thanks, is there any additional output at the end when Pinta eventually crashes?
From the initial libEGL warnings I wonder if there's a graphics driver issue .. You could try setting the GSK_RENDERER environment variable to opengl or cairo to see if that changes anything (https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/running.html#gsk_renderer)
There's no additional output on crash. It is VirtualBox VM with 128K video memory and VMSVGA video driver, 3D acceleration disabled.
