Backtrace

gnome-shell consistently crashes with "Native children wider or taller than 65535 pixels are not supported" followed by an X error and SIGTRAP after launching Kerbal Space Program 1.1.0.

While the client application may well be doing the wrong thing here, gnome-shell should probably not fall on its sword. It sometimes crashes repeatedly, which forces a full session logout.

I'm OK with C but my GTK+ and X11 skill is pretty nonexistent so I'm not sure how to produce a simple test case to reproduce this crash. It's trivial if you have the problem application, but it's not free.

(I've uploaded a RH bug with crash trace details to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1330854 . The RH reporting tool marked it private and I don't have the permissions to mark it public again, though, so it won't be accessible until they make it public.)

I saw crashes on Fedora 21 before upgrading today, too.

I have a fix for this issue locally but there's a problem with it that still needs to be addressed. Will attach here when ready.
Comment 4 Florian Müllner 2016-06-07 14:57:36 UTC
Mmh, we also have a patch for this in RHEL we could use ...
Comment 6 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 14:17:40 UTC
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of  gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
