Weston hangs with copy&paste actions from /to gedit and firefox ??

[Christian Hartmann]

Hi list,

I do not have an backtrace nor some hints, but FYI I have
a problem with firefox and gedit under wayland-devel

I have opened a text file (a patch in this case) and doing copy and
paste into the gmail editor window of firefox.
suddenly the weston desktop hangs - a remote login is possible and the
only way to reset the session.
Ok the hardware power button is working too, so a clean shutdown is possible.

This issue with the hang of weston is reproduce able and I avoid to
use gedit  or gvim in a weston session.

DId some others notice that issue or have also the same behaviour ? or
is this only my local box??
I did not retest on another box yet, cause having two boxes to pull
and compile - needs a lot of time.

In the case I want to make a valueable backtrace, what do you suggest
to enable the right DEBUG settings ?

I also notice often that in the Copy & Paste case that some lines are
missing like you see below:
I have selected the first screen of the weston startup messages and
paste it into the gmail editor,
but all lines starting with TAB or WHITESPACE seems to be
deleted/ignored or whatever...

On the other hand I can use weston over some weeks without any big
issues (or reboots etc)  - that must be said,
it is soo nice to have weston as a native display manager/ desktop.

Ok I have started weston  on top of a weston session and reproduce the
mentioned issue above and I got in the terminal:

I hope some of you have an idea whats going on.
The weston on top of weston still hangs, spotting all the time these
message until I kill weston ;)


Good work so far.

Cheers,
