Bug#1112199: FLTK / Wayland problem in Yoshimi
Hi all,
speaking for the Yoshimi-devs, we became aware of that problem some
days ago through the report of an Ubuntu user. Our investigations
uncovered the following
- it happens when having built against FLTK-1.4 and running
on Gnome + Wayland. It does not seem to affect KDE Plasma,
but we'll have to confirm that
- the crash happens at the point where Yoshimi creates and
shows the main application window.
- the problem is related to FLTK using the wayland backend,
which is a new feature with v1.4
Thus, as a workaround, start yoshimi with
FLTK_BACKEND=x11 yoshimi
It is not related to any specific Yoshimi version.
We have reproduced the crash even with versions from 2021,
before the time we made the Yoshimi UI scalable and themable.
The only condition is to link against FLTK 1.4
The typical stacktrace looks as follows

====================
This clearly shows that no actual Yoshimi code is directly involved.
Pesumably, it must be a combination of FLTK features we use in some widgets
that indirectly cause the problem.
Currently we are looking into ways how we can strip down the UI of yoshimi,
(which is massively complex) in order to narrow down the search space.
