Cycling windows floods log with assertion failures
What Happened?
When cycling windows the system log gets flooded with warnings about two failed assertions in clutter.
You can see the warnings below, they get repeated constantly until I release Alt+Tab and switch to the next window and back again.
I run the Pantheon desktop on the latest NixOS-unstable and I've observed this behavior when switching between Firefox and VS Codium.
Steps to Reproduce
- Run
journalctl --follow - Open firefox
- Open codium
- Press and hold Alt+Tab
- Observe warning flood
Expected Behavior
no warnings
OS Version
Other Linux
Software Version
Latest release (I have run all updates)
Log Output
clutter_paint_volume_set_width: assertion 'width >= 0.0f' failed
clutter_paint_volume_set_height: assertion 'height >= 0.0f' failed
...

This is also reported in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/159981 and I have no idea yet :crying_cat_face: For context NixOS is shipping mutter 3.38.6 with these patches carried.
@jessestricker @bobby285271 can you still reproduce this issue in your distributions?
I am no longer able to reproduce this. Bisect suggests this is likely fixed by https://github.com/elementary/gala/pull/1417. I am shipping that patch in NixOS right now. Asked in downstream issue to confirm.

Yes, it was fixed in #1417. I can reproduce the bug by reverting it. Thanks @bobby285271 :heart:
I no longer use the Pantheon desktop, so I can't reproduce the bug, sorry. Glad to know it's fixed though. Regarding the distro, it's also NixOS, so the setup should be similar to @bobby285271's.
