Per your suggestion in the Wayland thread, I just recompiled with
UNFINISHEDFEATURES enabled. Selecting the new ledger gives me an
immediate segfault, from both 5.0 and master, and whether or not I
have already selected an account. I'm pretty sure I can easily
enough get a backtrace, but before I do, what other information
would you want to help debug?
Sorry - I forgot on important point - these segfaults are all using
X11. I do have Wayland available, but it's not very stable, so I'll
test with Wayland a bit later. I figure unless the crash is
specifically X related, it would likely crash under wayland also.
Too bad that it crashes for you. Can you try to do this with an empty
file just to make sure it is not related to your data? I expect it to
be your data since it does not crash for me.
OK, the good news is that I see no crash or flickering or any other odd
video effects under wayland in the new ledger. I'm also assuming
"UNFINISHED" is applicable here, as the tab order is odd, and even goes
outside the ledger, and a new transaction isn't actually saved.
In terms of the flickering, I assume you are using different graphic
widgets from the old ledger/transaction form. Is there any hope of
fixing the issue in the old code, or does this just accelerate the need
to complete the new ledger? I'm still not sure how common Wayland
actually is, but I seem to get the feeling that it's being made the
default display system enough that it will have to be addressed.
I didn't do a full walkthrough of all views and windows, since I
haven't figured out why wayland is unstable for me and seems to crash
within five or ten minutes of use (or even just sitting) and after a
wayland session, I need to reboot because just going back to an X11
session doesn't work correctly. I'll be happy to do further testing as
needed, but nothing very extensive seems likely, as I won't know if any
crash is because of wayland itself (or bad configuration on my part) or
related to KMM, though simply observing video behavior seems not to be
a problem.
