Version of Archi

Version 5.0.2 Build 202304051112

Archi Plug-ins

Only the plug-ins provided with the default package

Operating System

Linux Debian 12 "Bookworm" (x86-64)

Expected Behaviour

When moving an object in the default view, the application should not crash

Actual Behaviour

When moving an object in the default view, the application crashes

There is no error log in the "About Archi" section.

Steps to Reproduce the Behaviour

  1. Open "Archi"
  2. Create a new model

  4. Add it to the default view
  5. Try to move it around
  6. Archi crashes brutally

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to try out Archi, so I installed it, and stumbled almost immediately on this issue.

From what I understand, it would seem like an issue between the JVM and GTK, but I don't understand more than that at this point ;-)

Is it specific to my setup (which is a pretty standard Debian 12 running gnome) or is there something more ?

Any help would be appreciated !

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards.

Are you using Linux Wayland? If so, please use X11. You can either set it in the system itself or run Archi with the Archi.sh script. The key thing here is export GDK_BACKEND=x11

The underlying problems stem from Wayland and SWT (Eclipse Standard Widget Toolkit). Take a look here:

https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt/issues/158

There is a recommendation to use WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 that might work.

Hello,

Oh... My mistake, then, I thought (wrongly) that running "Archi" called "Archi.sh" in the background... I guess I didn't read all the documentation ;-)

So, not a bug, I checked and it worked !

Thanks a lot for the fast and spot-on help !

Well, not in Archi, at least.

Eclipse SWT needs more fixes to support Wayland, but that's out of my hands.

That's what I meant. For the time being, you were able to make Archi work nonetheless, so it's kind of a victory, isn't it ?
