Alacritty Freeses on Wayland

[zeyadtamimi]

Hey,

After a recent upgrade I am starting to notice that Alacrity constantly freezes on my system, It happens somewhat randomly but I have been able to reproduce it by interacting with electron apps such as discord.

I am running Arch Linux with Hyprland and running the latest version of alacritty using the alacrity-git AUR package: alacritty 0.14.0-dev (81df32af)

I have noticed this happen a couple of days ago before the current release.

I can't really provide you with any logs because nothing really crashes. Instead, when this condition hits ( I really have no idea what exactly triggers it ) all spawned alacritty terminals will freeze and no longer update any of their renders

The bellow screenshot shows me trying to resize the window:

Notice the background which shows what the text should be, the htop window appears to no longer re-render.

Opening a new terminal after the freeze I can see that the process spawned by the terminal is still alive:

> ps -a | grep htop
132689 pts/0    00:00:08 htop

If I press q on the frozen terminal to quit alacritty then as expected nothing happens as the terminal render appears to be frozen, but htop actually quits:

> ps -a | grep htop
>

The above tests indicate to me that this is a render issue rather than an actual freeze issue as somehow even though the terminal is completely frozen and does not re-render I can still interact with the active program by typing q and it actually quitting that program.

Any help would be much appreciated!
