I don't think this is really something that can be fixed on the Linux kernel side and is a problem on any OS in some form (though other OSes don't have such a disastrous reaction to it). This is caused by the wayland server killing the socket connection to clients whose event buffer fills up, very often caused by the application doing blocking I/O or other long operations on the UI thread, but could also happen when the system is generally overloaded and the client process doesn't get scheduled in time to empty its event buffer. It has to be fixed in the wayland protocol lib (to handle a full socket buffer more gracefully) and also in applications (don't block the UI thread). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
