Package: libqt5waylandclient5
Version: 5.15.8-2
Native Wayland Qt5 applications with touchscreen support have a nasty tendency to segfault while receiving touch input, especially when one is trying to write using a stylus as the palm also makes contact with the touchscreen. This issue has only been recently
fixed in Qt 6.7 and as far as I know there is no upstream fix at the moment for Qt 5.15. An if statement (highlighted with pointer arrow) is added to function QWaylandInputDevice::Touch::touch_frame() in qwaylandinputdevice.cpp in Qt 6.7 to fix the bug:
I encountered the issue using MrWriter, compiled from source, on Ubuntu 22.04 (linked against Qt 5.15.3). Said issue was severe enough in my experience to interfere with day-to-day activities. As Ubuntu is downstream to Debian, I thought it would be better
if I report the bug here.
