Gnome Shell on Wayland crashes if open Google Chrome and switch to another console session
Affected version
GNOME Shell 42.4, Mutter 42.4 on Fedora 36 Wayland Session
Bug summary
GNOME Shell crashes if I switch to virtual console when Google Chrome window open if Chrome launched using «wayland» Ozone platform.
Often happens when I suspend computer (or on wake from suspend, not entirely sure).
Can be reproduced with other Chromium-based software (Chromium Browser, Opera browser, various Electron-based apps like Slack or Element if they started with --ozone-platform=wayland
)
Steps to reproduce
- Install Google Chrome (or Chromium Browser)
- Set Google Chrome Ozone platform to Wayland (either start with
--ozone-platform=wayland
or set «Preferred Ozone platform» to «wayland» or «auto» in chrome://flags - Interact with Chrome, switch tab for example
- Switch to another virtual terminal session with Ctrl+Alt+F4
- Some times it happens after several switches
