Alacritty freezes Arch Linux, Wayland, Nvidia

[ARKye03]

System

OS: GNU/Linux
Version: alacritty 0.13.0 (78fa4d6)
Arch Linux: Wayland, Hyprland, Sway

No logs, after a while all instances of alacritty just freezes, can still type and do commands, but not visible, its like it just stops rendering the "GUI" part, If I continually use the instance of alacritty it won't freeze, its just If I leave it in a lonely workspace and don't use it, this never happened to me, I have just updated to 0.13 and just happened, using proprietary drivers btw

[kchibisov]

could you post the WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 alacritty --print-events log from some instance that got frozen?

[ARKye03]

could you post the WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 alacritty --print-events log from some instance that got frozen?

It freezes too, the 3 instances are frozen there

[kchibisov]

yeah, but I need the log and not the screenshot...

[kchibisov]

And after it got frozen starting typing something like Shift + H, so I understand where it started to be broken.

[ARKye03]

yeah, but I need the log and not the screenshot...

Cant do anything, SHIFT + H does nothing even the instance of alacritty that debugs gets freezes too even tho is in another worskpace, shift + h, prints H, I know because the terminal still works and can copy/paste its content, but still no renders changes in the front

[kchibisov]

The log is truncated, could you please just run WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 alacritty --print-events > log.txt 2>&1 and upload the file.

But you said that

can still type and do commands, but not visible

So just start pressing like ten times and then close the window, it's more than enough.

[ARKye03]

log.txt
log2.txt
log3.txt
log4.txt

I have just realize that the instance freezes when I open another app like VSCode insiders(Wayland support), Firefox(Wayland too), and if I open VLC, MSEdge(XWayland), it freezes too
First log with VSCode, 2 with firefox, 3 with vlc and 4 with MSEdge

[kchibisov]

nice, yet another bug in compositor.

If you look at the log you can see the Occluded(it's SUSPENDED in wayland terms, which is https://wayland.app/protocols/xdg-shell#xdg_toplevel:enum:state:entry:suspended) thing, alacritty won't render when compositor says that its window is occluded, thus you have this bug. Bring it to hyprland. The relevant part in the log is the

[3259916.692] xdg_toplevel@41.configure(1896, 1014, array[24])

and

[49.760435250s] [INFO ] [alacritty] winit event: WindowEvent { window_id: WindowId(WindowId(94232316093952)), event: Occluded(true) }

There's never a point when it changes back to false as you can see.

to work around that you can try the patch from

#7465 (comment)

[ARKye03]

It worked thanks, does this has an impact on performance? I have been using alacritty for almost a year, I really don't wanna change it, version 0.12.3 worked just fine, thanks for all I really appreciate it

[kchibisov]

No, but report this to hyprland please.
