[SOLVED] With xwayland 22.1.4-1 windows are "killed" immediately

Hello,

since upgrading from xwayland 22.1.3-1 --> 22.1.4-1 I have problems with X applications opened in wayland.
I use sway and the two applications I am having issues are Rofi and Pinentry.
Whenever I open one of the two applications the windows are immediately "killed", or something like that.
With rofi it opens immediately the first entry in the program list and with pinentry it just close the window, I believe by sending a fake "return" keypress too.

It is very strange that the problem is not there in the older version, I cannot figure out what to do to avoid this issue in the latest version besides avoid using X applications.

Seconded, "solved" for me as well by downgrading xorg-xwayland to 22.1.3-1.

With rofi it opens immediately the first entry in the program list and with pinentry it just close the window, I believe by sending a fake "return" keypress too.

Something like that, e.g.

rofi -show

or

/usr/lib/ssh/ssh-askpass

terminates immediately as if return was pressed. It doesn't happen consistently, sometimes the application behaves as expected. The *first* invocation from a fresh terminal seems to exhibit the problem in a consistent manner.

Maybe the issue you described is related to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xse … ssues/1395

I'm also having issues with xorg-xwayland 22.1.4, but not sure if they're related or if the cause is different:
- Closing Hexchat dialogs kills the application with an X Window System error (BadWindow (invalid Window parameter))
- Some characters can't be typed in the Xonotic in-game console, but in that case it's possible to run the game with the SDL Wayland backend instead of XWayland

Downgrading to xorg-xwayland 22.1.3 fixes these issues.

It's fixed upstream already: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xse … quests/987
Here is Arch bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/76284
Let's hope we can get 22.1.4-2 with this fix applied.
