It seems that running each test-case separately, instead of combining all the test-cases into one run, works around this. That workaround is present in the 43.2-3 upload (this change is https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2773 upstream). I also applied a patch so that if the same error occurs for real users of mutter, it will be a non-fatal critical warning rather than a crash (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2774 upstream). The test failure continues to be a bug: please see upstream issue report <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2559> if you are interested in helping to resolve it. I think the solution is to make switch_workspace() in src/compositor/plugins/default.c do something reasonable if the window is being unmanaged, but I'm not sure what that reasonable thing would be. smcv
