Description:

On panthon desktop, using the window switcher (alt+tab) will make the whole session to crash from time to time.

This issue is documented upstream: https://github.com/elementary/gala/issues/1312

There is already a working patch for that: https://github.com/elementary/gala/pull/1315

However, even if it has already be merged upstream, there is no information about when it will be released (elementary OS still used mutter < 3.38, thus they are not yet concerned by the problem). Could it be possible to rebuild the package for ArchLinux by including given patch? See my attached PKGBUILD patch, which works totally fine (in my case at least, I let you review it 🙂).


Additional info:

gala 6.3.0-1

Steps to reproduce:

Use above mentioned gala version. Open at least 2 different apps. Then hit alt+tab to switch from one window to another.
This task depends upon
