Gnome Workspace Switching Causes Crash

[criticalkunic]

Not sure where logs are saved (if they are), or I'd post them. Essentially switching workspaces in X11 Gnome 45 causes the Jokolay app to close/crash. I've replicated this with alt-tab switching spaces, using a defined hotkey, and also using the new scroll over feature from Gnome 45.

Here's a video clip of it:

The logs are usually at ~/.local/share/jokolay.

Got it. I've attached those. The most recent entries should be for the latest crash.

Is it actually gnome? or budgie?

Anyway, It seems like when you switch workspace, gw2 moves/resizes in the previous workspace (probably because the top window list panel seems to disappear, allowing the space to be used up by gw2). This causes jokolay to resize/reposition too, and then it just crashes while trying to resize the vulkan window surface.

I can switch workspaces fine on my kde. So, it probably has to do with the tiling/spacing thing maybe?

1. Try making gw2 window fixed size (maybe make gw2 a floating window or remove that top window list thing ), so that it won't resize/reposition when you switch workspace.
2. use a different DE/WM temporarily. In the next version, i will try to add logic to resize only if gw2 or jokolay are actually in focus, as this should ignore unnecessary resizes in background. I am also shifting to opengl (vulkan has issues with transparency on some wayland platforms), which might avoid this crash on resize.

Gnome 45 with Dash-to-Panel to move the top bar to the bottom.

Try making gw2 window fixed size (maybe make gw2 a floating window or remove that top window list thing ), so that it won't resize/reposition when you switch workspace.

If I do borderless windowed mode it doesn't crash. To be thorough I disabled all extensions and tried again in windowed mode (that window tab thing is an extension), and the crash happened. So it appears to be related to how Gnome specifically handles resizable windows when off screen. I decided to further test this theory by running the game in a virtual desktop at my wacky resolution of 2482x1281 and it didn't crash upon switching desktops.

can you try with the latest release? It uses opengl, so might fix this issue of resizing in the background.
