Bug ID: 370517
Summary: Ever since 5.8, kwin will crash upon switching to a
different workspace while in a full-screen game
Product: kwin
Version: 5.8.0
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: compositing
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: nathan17...@gmail.com
I'll be in a game, doesn't matter what it is as long as it's fullscreen, and
then I'll switch to a different workspace. Immediately when switching, kwin
crashes. Titlebars disappear, several kwin hotkeys stop working, and I have to
run "kwin --replace" to fix it. This happens every single time when the "Allow
applications to block compositing" setting is enabled, and only sometimes when
it's not. This started when version 5.8 came in.
Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable "Allow applications to block compositing"
2. Launch a fullscreen game
3. While in the game, switch to another workspace
Actual Results:
kwin crashes
Expected Results:
keep working
If it matters, I'm using the proprietary Nvidia driver version 370.28.
Distro is KDE Neon (Ubuntu 16.04 base).
