Bug ID: 486638
Summary: Running Chromium-based browsers in native wayland mode
causes them to freeze and crash when drag and dropping
in Plasma 6 Wayland
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.0.4
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: sbnav...@proton.me
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Currently, Chromium-based browsers require running natively on Wayland to
provide pinch-to-zoom and swipe gestures. Although still not enabled by default
like in Mozilla Firefox, some users report that they've been running
Chromium-based browsers successfully under GNOME Wayland. See an example here
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1cklr5b/want_pinch_to_zoom_swipe_gestures_in_brave_chrome
However, in my testing on latest Fedora 40 with Plasma 6.0.4, the browser
freezes and eventually crashes on force-quitting whenever a click and dragging
action is performed. It seems the browser window becomes unresponsive to mouse
inputs, although it still responds to keyboard inputs. But when closing the
window the browser eventually crashes.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set #ozone-platform-hint flag to "Auto" or "Wayland" in chromium:///flags
and restart the browser
2. Drag some webpage element around or drag a URL/bookmark into the bookmarks
bar
OBSERVED RESULT
The browser is frozen to mouse inputs when a dragging action is performed.
EXPECTED RESULT
The browser should not freeze or crash when clicking and dragging.
