KWin crashes if a shader effect is applied to the desktop-switcher overlay [Wayland-only]
(Disclaimer: I am very new to KWin)
I am currently porting the Burn-My-Windows GNOME extensions to KWin. A user discovered a bug: On Wayland, the effect is also applied to the overlay which can be shown while switching virtual desktops. When this happens, KWin crashes.
Is there any log which I could look into for debugging this (I think nothing gets logged to ~/.local/share/sddm/wayland-session.log
)?
Edit: To reproduce this, just download the Burn-My-Windows effects:
git clone https://github.com/Schneegans/Burn-My-Windows.git
cd Burn-My-Windows
./kwin/build.sh
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/kwin/effects
cp -r kwin/_build/* ~/.local/share/kwin/effects
Enable one of the in the System Settings, and enable the desktop-switching overlay. On X11, you can switch desktops, on Wayland, your session will crash.
