wofi crashing since 1.5 update

Ever since updating from wofi 1.4.1 to 1.5 (released yesterday) I've been getting the following error:
Gdk-Message: 02:00:19.470: Error flushing display: Protocol error

This is happening on niri and hyprland using both the wofi-hg aur package and the release in the extra repo, is this something I should report upstream or could this be a packaging issue?
(also how can I get better debug messages, I couldn't find a launch flag for it)

P.S. should this be in Package Upgrade Issues instead?

Re: wofi crashing since 1.5 update

I have this exact problem too and looked at the Bug tracker for wofi.
https://todo.sr.ht/~scoopta/wofi/247

For some reason the config setting "lines" seems to be broken.
Switching it out for "height" and specifying a height in pixels solved the issue for me.

Config Path: ~/.config/wofi/config

Interesting, how would that be making a difference? That has now fixed it for me too.

My guess is its related to the specific error message I and bariscn from the bugtracker got:

Gtk-CRITICAL **: 17:19:09.106: gtk_window_resize: assertion 'height > 0' failed

I'd guess its a side effect from the "height" setting that also sets a height variable for gtk and the last update no longer sets this variable trough the "lines" option from the wofi config.

Oh right yeah completely missed that, I do have that message too. That does seem to make sense
