Some actions on Zoom (Qt 5.9) crashes gnome-shell

Open Cygn opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

I've got a strange side effect, on a Dell 7400 (full intel i7/8), with patches installed from the copr.

Zoom, (which uses its custom Qt 5.9 libs) runs on xwayland by default [QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb] It causes random complete crashes of the shell: you're kicked to VT, and gdm has to be restarted manually.

One can make it crash consistently by going to the list of scheduled meeting and clicking on 'copy invitation link' I've spent a bit of time on looking for a cause, and only reverting these patches avoids these crashes...

This journald entries seems to show the crash messages de journal.txt

Yes, I am aware of that issue. It's caused by Xwayland, but I haven't found the root cause yet. I will try to provide an update soon, though.
