Patch has been reviewed by mutter developer Carlos Garnacho and the patch status bugzilla is "accepted-commit_now" Author: polygamma <jonny.westpha...@googlemail.com> Origin: upstream https://bug788666.bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=361191 Bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788666 Bug-Ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/bugs/1722510 Last-Update: 2017-10-08 " ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #788666 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788666 ** Patch added: "lp_1722510_fix_xorg_maximize_crash.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1722510/+attachment/4966654/+files/lp_1722510_fix_xorg_maximize_crash.patch ** Tags added: patch ** Description changed: When mutter was upgraded to 3.26.1, maximising windows in gnome-shell (xorg session) and budgie-desktop and subsequently closing those windows causes the window manager to crash; after a couple of times the whole session crashes and you are left at the login prompt. This is a known issue upstream: - https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cfg?id=788666 + https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788666 Note: under budgie random crashes of the desktop have been observed: https://github.com/budgie-desktop/budgie-desktop/issues/1189 These have been traced back by budgie upstream to the same bugzilla issue above. We have tested the suggested fix in the bugzilla report and can confirm that both the gnome-shell (xorg) session no longer crashes and (for us) the instability issues with budgie desktop are no longer observed.
