From: "Abraham S.A.H." <arash.sah <at> tuta.io> To: Bug Gnu Emacs <bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org> Subject: 29.3; Emacs-PGTK crashes upon marking some text inside emacs and then middle clicking outside of Emacs Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2024 15:52:12 +0100 (CET)
## System Information: * Kernel: 6.8.2-2 * DE: Gnome 46.0 * WM: Mutter (Wayland) * gnome-shell: 46.0 * wayland: 1.22.0 * mutter: 46.0 * wl-clipboard: 2.2.1 * weston: 13.0.0 * sway: 1.9-e93da93 * emacs package: emacs-wayland 29.3-1.1 (archlinux) ## Steps to reproduce the issue under Gnome: 1. Invoke `emacs -Q` in any terminal emulator to start Emacs along with its GUI frame. 2. Mark/highlight some area of text with your mouse pointer. OR use C-Space and keyboard movement shortcuts to do the same. 3. Open any other application. (gnome-text-editor, for example) 4. Use your middle mouse button in an editable text area of the second application's frame. 5. Emacs crashes. NOTE1: Emacs doesn't crash if you just middle click in any *non-textual/non-editable* area, outside Emacs. NOTE2: Middle clicking *inside* any of Emacs' own buffers DOES work properly without any crash or noticeable problem. NOTE3: The problem is reproducible both when marking with mouse cursor or when marking with keyboard shortcuts. NOTE4: Using another shortcut that pastes the Primary selection of the wayland, instead of mouse's middle click, also reproduces the same issue. E.g. S-Insert of WezTerm. NOTE5: Marking a text outside of Emacs and middle clicking inside Emacs works flawlessly. ## State of the issue under Sway: The issue is completely reproducable under sway with the same steps as above, with the same symptoms and the same segmentation fault error. ## State of the issue under Weston: The issue is not reproducable under Weston but the functionality is also lost. Weston doesn't support primary selection. ## Tried Workarounds: ### Workaround number 1: Disable the primary selection. In gnome you can disable primary selection. Brings users to the same state of under Weston. Emacs will not crash, Primary selection works inside Emacs, but not outside of Emacs. Emacs still crashes if user uses the middle click inside applications that try to pull primary selection with middle click. ### Workaround number 2: Set variable `select-active-regions` to `nil`. Disables the functionality and of course removes the issue. ## Terminal log of Emacs after crash: ~~~~~~~ Start of the terminal log Fatal error 11: Segmentation fault Backtrace: emacs(+0x16bc62)[0x5f8b0fcddc62] emacs(+0x20243)[0x5f8b0fb92243] emacs(+0x21d44)[0x5f8b0fb93d44] /usr/lib/libc.so.6(+0x41b30)[0x735b53041b30] emacs(+0x3027c9)[0x5f8b0fe747c9] emacs(+0x14950d)[0x5f8b0fcbb50d] emacs(+0x14a631)[0x5f8b0fcbc631] emacs(+0x275406)[0x5f8b0fde7406] emacs(+0x44808)[0x5f8b0fbb6808] emacs(+0x152ea1)[0x5f8b0fcc4ea1] emacs(+0x317837)[0x5f8b0fe89837] emacs(+0x1465ec)[0x5f8b0fcb85ec] emacs(+0x1fd94f)[0x5f8b0fd6f94f] emacs(+0x143fae)[0x5f8b0fcb5fae] emacs(+0x1fd8a5)[0x5f8b0fd6f8a5] emacs(+0x145dc9)[0x5f8b0fcb7dc9] emacs(+0x34bf40)[0x5f8b0febdf40] emacs(+0x146300)[0x5f8b0fcb8300] emacs(+0x380d3)[0x5f8b0fbaa0d3] /usr/lib/libc.so.6(+0x26010)[0x735b53026010] /usr/lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0x8a)[0x735b530260ca] emacs(+0x38445)[0x5f8b0fbaa445] fish: Job 1, 'emacs --debug-init' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error) ~~~~~~~ End of the log In GNU Emacs 29.3 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.41, cairo version 1.18.0) Repository revision: 4b1bcc2ad665ccd3fe1d4b8a206f9bf3a8bc2c98 Repository branch: HEAD System Description: Arch Linux Configured using: 'configure --with-pgtk --with-native-compilation=aot --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib --with-tree-sitter --localstatedir=/var --with-cairo --disable-build-details --with-harfbuzz --with-libsystemd --with-modules 'CFLAGS=-march=x86-64-v3 -mtune=haswell -O3 -pipe -fno-plt -fexceptions -mpclmul -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection -g1 -ffile-prefix-map=/startdir/src=/usr/src/debug/emacs -flto=auto -falign-functions=32' 'LDFLAGS=-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -Wl,-z,pack-relative-relocs -flto=auto -falign-functions=32' 'CXXFLAGS=-march=x86-64-v3 -mtune=haswell -O3 -pipe -fno-plt -fexceptions -mpclmul -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection -Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS -g1 -ffile-prefix-map=/startdir/src=/usr/src/debug/emacs -flto=auto -falign-functions=32'' Configured features: ACL CAIRO DBUS FREETYPE GIF GLIB GMP GNUTLS GPM GSETTINGS HARFBUZZ JPEG JSON LCMS2 LIBOTF LIBSYSTEMD LIBXML2 MODULES NATIVE_COMP NOTIFY INOTIFY PDUMPER PGTK PNG RSVG SECCOMP SOUND SQLITE3 THREADS TIFF TOOLKIT_SCROLL_BARS TREE_SITTER WEBP XIM GTK3 ZLIB Important settings: value of $LC_COLLATE: en_GB.UTF-8 value of $LC_CTYPE: en_GB.UTF-8 value of $LC_MESSAGES: en_GB.UTF-8 value of $LC_MONETARY: fa_IR.UTF-8 value of $LC_NUMERIC: en_GB.UTF-8 value of $LC_TIME: en_DK.UTF-8 value of $LANG: en_GB.UTF-8 locale-coding-system: utf-8-unix Major mode: Lisp Interaction Minor modes in effect: tooltip-mode: t global-eldoc-mode: t eldoc-mode: t show-paren-mode: t electric-indent-mode: t mouse-wheel-mode: t tool-bar-mode: t menu-bar-mode: t file-name-shadow-mode: t global-font-lock-mode: t font-lock-mode: t blink-cursor-mode: t line-number-mode: t indent-tabs-mode: t transient-mark-mode: t auto-composition-mode: t auto-encryption-mode: t auto-compression-mode: t Load-path shadows: None found.
