Why does Java (XWayland / Weston) resize a Window to 1x1 pixel when HDMI is unplugged (and does not resize back when HDMI is plugged)

Upstream Weston has very little to no dependencies on kernel version.

wayland-protocols, wayland, libdrm. Those are the most likely
dependencies. All really tiny and safe to upgrade from upstream version
to upstream version.

Upgrading Xwayland alone could be a try.

Xwayland has no configuration at all.

xrandr does work read-only with Xwayland. It can report the monitor
layout, but it cannot modify it. I was interested in what it reports
after that unplug, not as a workaround.

Oh. We cannot support modified Weston, sorry. Significant vendor
modifications tend to break things, and we have no idea what they do or
why. Maybe this problem is not because of that, maybe it is, hard to
guess.
