If a window goes away during "Switch windows", gnome-shell often segfaults
Last modified: 2015-09-29 16:47:05 UTC
Created attachment 308482 [details] keybindings I have "Switch Windows" bound to Alt-Tab (screenshot attached) If I'm in the middle of switching windows with Alt-Tab and one of the windows in that list closes, gnome-shell segfaults like so: Jul 30 10:25:36 mitchelh-linux gnome-session[2701]: ** Jul 30 10:25:36 mitchelh-linux gnome-session[2701]: Clutter:ERROR:clutter-actor.c:1451:clutter_actor_update_map_state: assertion failed: (!(must_be_realized && !may_be_realized)) Jul 30 10:25:42 mitchelh-linux gnome-session[2701]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-shell.desktop' killed by signal 6 Jul 30 10:25:43 mitchelh-linux gnome-session[2701]: gnome-session[2701]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-shell.desktop' killed by signal 6 Jul 30 10:25:45 mitchelh-linux systemd-coredump[16284]: Process 2986 (gnome-shell) of user 202719 dumped core. I haven't come up with an reliable way of reproducing it. I tried opening a new gnome-terminal window and running `sleep 1; exit' and alt-tabbing before the window closes, but that doesn't seem to reproduce it for some reason... When I do that my syslog is spammed with: Jul 30 11:38:49 mitchelh-linux gnome-session[2701]: (gnome-shell:16290): Clutter-WARNING **: Attempting to map a child that does not meet the necessary invariants: the actor 'MetaShapedTexture' has no parent Jul 30 11:38:49 mitchelh-linux gnome-session[2701]: (gnome-shell:16290): Clutter-WARNING **: Attempting to map a child that does not meet the necessary invariants: the actor 'MetaShapedTexture' has no parent Jul 30 11:38:49 mitchelh-linux gnome-session[2701]: (gnome-shell:16290): Clutter-WARNING **: Attempting to map a child that does not meet the necessary invariants: the actor 'MetaShapedTexture' has no parent (repeated 8-10 times per second as long as I leave the alt-tab switcher open) I don't know if that's related at all or gives any clues to the more serious problem above.
