Details

Description:
Forwarding any message in Telegram Desktop ('Community' repo), causes a short spike on the CPU load, followed by a segfault.


Additional info:
* version: 2.4.7-2
* log: https://pastebin.com/raw/qEvk4m0V
* core dump: https://itstyrion.de/random/tg-coredump.tar.xz (~ 30MB)

I tried pacman -Rns -> -Sc -> -Syu telegram-desktop for reinstalling, as well as manually removing config files from .local/share
Starting telegram with valgrind -v leads to Telegram not crashing. The official binary (GitHub release) also works.


Steps to reproduce:
For me, forwarding a message is enough.
Text only, media, links, private chat, or group as the target, doesn't matter.

Can't reproduce. Forwarding works just fine. If there's no further information you can add, I'll have to close this. It may or may not be related to how we're packaging this but I suppose more users would have complained if this were a problem for more people.

Yep. Happens for me too. I'm using Gnome and Wayland.

I noticed a crash when clicking on a second YouTube link. I would click the first link and it would open up fine in Firefox. When I clicked the second YouTube link, a short pause, and then Gnome crashes.

I'm happy to provide more details as needed.

Please try to work this out with upstream. I really have no idea what could be wrong here on a packaging side.

FWIW forwarding works fine for me on plasma and xorg.

I posted on Telegram issues. Someone thinks it is a Gnome bug. It probably is. I recently had issues related to mutter and graphical Snaps. https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/issues/9841

Alright, I think I'll close this then as it doesn't appear to be a packaging issue. Try to get this worked out upstream.
