After the update, I restarted the system, and now I get random Xwayland crashes when operating IntelliJ IDEA on my work laptop. They usually happen when quickly switching to some file using the Double-Shift-Action-Dialog, e.g., pressing Shift twice brings up a dialog where you can select files, classes, or trigger actions and narrow everything by typing in phrases. When the class or file I was looking for has been selected in that dialog, I hit return which should close the dialog and open the found file in a new tab in the IntelliJ main window. That's the point where the crashes appear, i.e., I hit return and out of sudden, the IntelliJ window disappears.

Additional info:

  • package version(s): 23.2.5-1
  • config and/or log files: Backtrace of a coredump in GDB, I can also provide the complete coredumps if requested
  • link to upstream bug report, if any:

Steps to reproduce:

It's not completely reproducible tho it happened to me at least 4 times today. It seems to happen when focus is switched or dialog windows disappear.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
