Pixman 0.43.0 is a development release and should be downgraded
Description:
The recently released Pixman 0.43.0 is a development release and build with certain checks enabled that cause issues.
Please see our findings at:
- https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pixman/pixman/-/issues/89#note_2238880
- https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pixman/pixman/-/issues/87#note_2240113
- https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pixman/2024-January/005009.html
It's unclear whether that's intentional on not, but it's not clearly marked as development.
Until this gets cleared out I think Arch should downgrade to 0.42.x.
Additional info:
- package version(s): 0.43.0
- link to upstream bug report, if any: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pixman/pixman/-/issues/89
Steps to reproduce:
- Start KDE Wayland session.
- Install Steam
- Install Guild Wars 2
- Try launching the game and experience kwin freeze.
While this is a way we can repro the issue the bug is not related to Proton / Steam. It's pixman / kwin.
