Details

Description:
With the current releases of Gnome packages in Arch, and the latest stable version of ProtonUp-Qt from the AUR, there appears to be a conflict on a system with an AMD GPU (RX 480 8GB). A specific action causes Gnome-Shell to crash in Wayland related functions in Mutter.

Additional info:
* package version(s)

mutter: 42.4-1
gnome-shell: 1:42.4-1
mesa: 22.1.7-1
linux-tkg-cfs: 5.19.8-269 (linux-tkg.cfg available upon request if necessary)
protonup-qt: 2.7.2-1
qt5-base: 5.15.6+kde+r167-1

* config and/or log files etc.

* link to upstream bug report, if any

I haven't filed an upstream bug report yet, as a fellow developer was unable to reproduce it on a different distribution, running recent versions of all the packages involved.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open ProtonUp-Qt
2. Click "Add version"
3. Click the Proton GE version drop list when it populates, expanding it to a list of Proton GE versions
4. Attempt to click the drop list root control again to collapse the list without making a selection.
5. Cursor now freezes, Gnome-Shell is crashing here.
This task depends upon

Amending bug report: This uses Qt6, so:

qt6-base: 6.3.2-1
pyside6: 6.3.1-3
Comment by Christopher Snowhill (kode54) - Monday, 12 September 2022, 07:03 GMT
Okay, I resolved the issue by downgrading all my Qt6 packages to the last 6.3.1 versions in the official repository.

Slightly off-topic, apparently 6.3.2 is such a hot mess that it doesn't even have a release tag in their GitHub repository.

Thanks to a fellow Wayland desktop user, I isolated the crash in Gnome-Shell to this exact commit:

https://github.com/qt/qtwayland/commit/98323fb8199aef3026e9fd7ef1e04693ad8161bf

Reverting that with patch -Np1 -R on qt6-wayland 6.3.2-1 removes the crash. Looks like Gnome-Shell really doesn't like that.

I was the person who found the problematic commit (I actually discovered the issue by accident while looking at some stuff in OBS)

Thankfully GNOME already fixed this in master (it should be in GNOME/mutter 43):
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/commit/ed516dde899f87b19f3dd0ed4613b692f778d437

For users, you should downgrade Qt 6 to 6.3.1-1 (downgrading qt6-wayland would be enough, but unfortunately there's a
version mismatch error so you have to downgrade the entire group)

For maintainers, you should temporarily revert the commit listed in the previous comment until mutter 43 is released
in the Arch repositories 🐸

Oh, sorry, thanks for posting here. I didn't see your comment before posting mine.

IIUC, this is a mutter bug (now fixed for Gnome 43) tickled by a (possibly bad) update to qt6-wayland 6.3.2?

AFAICT, the mutter fix hasn't been applied to Gnome 42 branch. Gnome 43 is not too far away...maybe we just wait it out?

Not sure if @arojas is inclined to revert said problematic qt6-wayland commit? Probably not..
