SUMMARY Sometimes in kde (wayland) the clipboard starts to stop working (copy paste with CTRL+C CTRL+V), when that happens and a application (in this case firefox) explicitly tries to copy something to the clip-board, it crashes the whole compositor, and it also does not recover from it STEPS TO REPRODUCE i dont know how to get the base conditions, and i did not have it occur again yet, so here are the steps i had took just before the crash: 1. wait until getting the clipboard to stop working (eg meaning CTRL+C CTRL+V dont do anything anymore) 2. use a application that can explicitly copy something into the clipboard (in my case it was firefox) 3. let the application (in my case firefox) copy something into the clipboard 4. observe "kwin_wayland" to dump its core OBSERVED RESULT Full Crash without recovery EXPECTED RESULT No Crash and recovery when crash SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.17.1-3-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX Vega ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I am sorry for not being able to provide more concrete reproduction steps, but i have no clue aside from what i listed on what could have triggered this "coredumpctl gdb NUM" output: Core was generated by `/usr/bin/kwin_wayland --wayland-fd 5 --socket wayland-0 --xwayland-fd 6 --xwayl'.
