For a while I stopped using Plover to avoid this issue, then I tried
using it again and nothing crashed. After using it more times and Xorg
still not crashing I think the bug seems to at least have stopped
affecting me.

You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X,
It happened again, this time on the Lubuntu desktop, and this time I'm
pretty sure there was a crash file with "xorg" in the name, but running
ubuntu-bug might just have renamed it without sending anything...
Anyway, it seems it wasn't the only thing that crashed, so might as well
give you the
Today I got sent back to the login screen in the same way, same
symptoms, same circumstances as last time (writing text into Firefox
using Plover), and this is after upgrading to 21.10. However, I can't
see a crash file from Xorg, only a _usr_bin_lxqt-panel.1000.crash. This
time I was using the
Still less than twenty-four hours since the upgrade, still no crashes
after it. But I found a workaround for the missing characters bug. Just
switch to the Lubuntu desktop instead of the (GNOME) Ubuntu one. Might
still want to report that bug to IBus or Xorg or whatever was causing

I upgraded to 21.10 yesterday, but haven't used it long enough to know
for sure if the crash also happens here. And it switched to Wayland,
which doesn't really solve the problem, since Plover isn't currently
compatible with it. But I switched to Xorg and haven't got any Xorg
crashes on 21.10 so
Possibly fixed after 20.04? I might try upgrading some day I have plenty
of time then. If I then stop getting the crashes, I could mention that
here. And if I still get them, I guess I could mention that. It's pretty
random when it happens, but I guess it should happen at least once per
month,
The crash took some time to happen again, but happened a moment ago. It
does seem pretty inconsistent, and I was starting to think of unplugging
the keyboard and plugging it in again to see if that would cause it, or
reinstall those Plover plugins that seemed to make it happen much more
often when
Public bug reported:
If I'm typing text into an application like gedit or Firefox using
Plover, I occasionally get a screen freeze, then a black screen, and
then I'm thrown back to the login screen, and all applications seem to
get closed. I think I first noticed this in March 2021, but at that
