On a Wayland session, dragging and dropping an image from file manager into the Layers pane repeats the action a few times over
Environment/Versions
- GIMP version: 2.10.34
- Package: Flatpak
- Operating System: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (Snapshot 20230823)
Description of the bug
On a Wayland session, when dragging an image and dropping it into the Layers panel from a file manager / outside GIMP, the "dropping image as new layer" action repeats itself for a few times, filling up system memory and (potentially) crashing the running DE/WM. Reproduction of the bug was attempted in an X11 session, unable to reproduce the bug.
Further details: KDE 5.27.7, KDE Frameworks 5.109.0
Reproduction
Is the bug reproducible? Always, on Wayland. Unable to reproduce in an X11 session.
Reproduction steps:
- Open an image normally in GIMP.
- Outside GIMP, drag another image and drop it on top of existing layers in the Layers pane.
- Action repeats several times over in rapid succession, filling up system RAM and potentially crashing the running DE/WM.
…
Expected result: Image dragged and dropped onto the Layers pane will open as a new layer once.
Actual result: Action repeats several times over in rapid succession, filling up system RAM and potentially crashing the running DE/WM.
