GNOME 45 with Triple Buffering- Fullscreen unredirection freezes the GNOME session (NVIDIA Wayland)
Affected version
45.0
OS: Fedora 39 Beta
Mutter 45
Wayland only bug
Bug summary
When launching a game and toggling fullscreen (ALT+Enter), the screen freezes and you are forced to restart the computer. If you use a GNOME extension to disable fullscreen unredirection, this issue does not occur, which seems to indicate that Unredirection is causing the session to freeze. I couldn't reproduce this behaviour in AMD, so I assume is a NVIDIA + Wayland issue in GNOME 45.
Steps to reproduce
- Launch a game, preferably a Steam game running under Proton or an emulated game
- If the game is not launched in fullscreen by default, toggle it with ALT+Enter
- The desktop should now be freezed or at least unresponsive
