[Wayland-bugs] [Bug 788420] Wayland: Too wide windows/subsurfaces cause exit

[gtk+ (GNOME Bugzilla)]

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788420

--- Comment #4 from Emmanuele Bassi (:ebassi) <ebassi at gmail.com> ---
It would be nice to have some protocol in place for a client to ask the
compositor how big a window size can be — this way the toolkit would be able to
catch the issue and avoid sending non-sensical values.

Further mitigation: GtkTooltip should probably use a GtkLabel that has an
ellipsization rule, and try to constrain the text width to something
reasonable.

I also wonder if it's possible, at the Wayland compositor level, to map
multiple textures to the same surface, to allow getting over the texture size
limit. Cogl already allows this internally with "sliced" textures, with
limitations on what the textures can do.
