Rawhide gnome-terminal-3.21.90-2.fc26.x86_64 mutter-3.21.4-1.fc25.x86_64 gnome-shell-3.21.4-1.fc25.x86_64 In a wayland session, shell crashes starting gnome-terminal-3.21.90 with --geometry 1000x1000 Filing under gnome-shell because I am not sure if its a shell or mutter or XWayland bug..
gnome-shell doesn't crash here, it kills the offending app (gnome-terminal-server) with a "Window manager warning: Could not import pending buffer, ignoring commit: Failed to create texture 2d due to size/format constraints" which sounds quite right. What version of gnome-shell/mutter do you use? I think this might be a duplicate of bug 770387
The versions where this happened originally were already listed. Since nowadays it doesn't crash, I'll assume its the same issue fixed by 770387. Marking as DUPLICATE Thanks *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 770387 ***
