[testing] restarting Gnome Shell crashes WM? #14

Closed jeffchannell closed 4 years ago

jeffchannell commented 4 years ago

Current testing build seems to crash the WM if Gnome Shell is restarted. Not apparent with normal use, but this signifies there’s something not working correctly.

Likely due to the cursor hiding window and something not being deallocated properly.

This is much worse than I thought - it’s straight crashing Ubuntu 20.04.1 :-(

Fixed by pushing the window to an external script, using tcp sockets to communicate. No more crashes!
