@nuko8 crash simply as in outputting ``` BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Vim: Got X error Vim: Finished. ``` and exiting -- no dump. @chrisbra do you mean with e.g. Athena?...

Can you instruct me on how to do so, then? See my remarks above: setting `CONF_OPT_GUI` did not seem to be enough.

I think we need to decide whether we want to be normative ("there is one way to do it") or lax ("we support all ndarray methods that could make sense")....

Personally I'm +20 for some way of removing the need for squeeze, but see #19463 for a concrete alternative proposal that achieves the same thing with *much* less machinery needed...

Apologies for the breakage. Looking at #22004 it seems that gtk3cairo also needs the same fix. I cannot test this right now but I wonder if it would be better...

I can't test this right now but I'm basically thinking of something along the lines of ```patch diff --git i/lib/matplotlib/backends/backend_cairo.py w/lib/matplotlib/backends/backend_cairo.py index 9ccadcdf1c..88830a61ca 100644 --- i/lib/matplotlib/backends/backend_cairo.py +++ w/lib/matplotlib/backends/backend_cairo.py @@ -85,6...

No hurries, get through your defense first (quite a few people here started working on matplotlib during their phd, so we know how it is...) I would prefer something along...

Actually this turned out to be much easier than I expected, see #19484.
