Marco crash: All window title bars sometimes disappear, reboot then required #691

Closed hottwaj closed 2 years ago

hottwaj commented 2 years ago

Expected behaviour

Window title bars should not disappear!

Actual behaviour

Occasionally title bars for all windows disappear, all windows become immovable & not resizable, and the window list in the panel stops working.

The contents of windows themselves continue to work, as does the "Menu/Start" button in the bottom panel.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

This crash appears to occur randomly with no obvious trigger and has probably happened to me about 10 times in total over a couple months of use. Sometimes it has happened immediately after log in (as soon as I start programs that use windows), other times it happens after system has been up for a while and I'm using number of windows.

MATE general version

1.24.0-2

Package version

(Not sure how this differs from MATE general version above?)

Linux Distribution

Linux Mint 20.2

Crash report

See stacktrace from Marco that I found in system reports - happened around the same time I most recently had this issue

Notes

I use Chrome which has its own "special title bar" (not system title bar). Not sure if that is somehow related or not

Thanks!

p.s. in case it is relevant, this is on a Tiger Lake based laptop CPU/GPU. Until May 2021 I was using a laptop with a Skylake CPU/GPU (and Linux Mint 20.1 + Mate) and don't remember having this issue. Thanks!

Hmm looks like this is probably the same issue as in: #617

hottwaj commented 2 years ago

Will close assuming this is the same as #617, I've tried upgrading to 1.24.1 (via package for newer version of ubuntu than I am using: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/marco/1.24.2-0ubuntu1), hopefully will not see this issue anymore. Thanks!
