Bug ID: 480927
Summary: Programs running under KWin + Wayland segfault when
switching monitors
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.93.0
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org

crash traceback (for Konsole)
SUMMARY
I found a case where all my applications crashed when I plugged in an external
screen.
* The crashes occurred in several applications (e.g. Konsole) that were
running at the time of the crash, not KWin itself. However, having a look at
the backtrace I believe that the issue is probably not in any particular
application (or set of applications), so I'm reporting it here.
* The crash doesn't occur with every monitor switch. This has happened to me
once so far, with the specific reproduction steps given below.
* I suspect the issue probably lies upstream in Qt. I need (at the very least)
someone to help triage the issue, in order to verify that this is the case,
help determine whether it's already been reported (or fixed?), and so on.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set KDE to display exclusively on the external screen.
2. Reboot the computer and log in to KDE directly on the external screen.
3. Put the computer to sleep.
4. Unplug the external screen and wake the computer back up again. Log in.
5. Plug in the external screen.
OBSERVED RESULT
All running applications (all of them were built on Qt6, incidentally) crash
with a segfault. The call stack contains
#11 QPlatformScreen::screen (this=this@entry=0x72bdd4006da0) at
/usr/src/debug/qt6-base/qtbase-everywhere-src-6.7.0-beta2/src/gui/kernel/qplatformscreen.cpp:116
#12 0x000072bde856396e in QtWaylandClient::QWaylandWindow::handleScreensChanged
(this=0x61642913e7d0) at
/usr/src/debug/qt6-wayland/qtwayland-everywhere-src-6.7.0-beta2/src/client/qwaylandwindow.cpp:1414
Full stack trace attached.
EXPECTED RESULT
No crash, all applications automatically switch to external screen since it was
enabled (exclusively) last time it was plugged in.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce this so far. I'm hoping the
kcrash data provides enough information to work out a more precise cause.
