i3 crashes on setting Wine window fullscreen

What I did:

$ wine Setup.exe

What I saw:

I configured wine to run applications inside an emulated desktop window, ‘Wine desktop’ and I’ve seen it appearing on the same workspace, then freezing. A black window appeared and it said that i3 crashed and I can save backtrace, attach gdb or restart i3 in place.

What I expected instead:

Wine Desktop window appearing on the designated workspace "7:Wine" instead of the current one. And i3 continuing to work.

Here’s the backtrace: https://pastebin.com/raw/tJmpwt0j

I don’t see a link to logs.i3wm.org. Did you follow https://i3wm.org/docs/debugging.html? (In case you actually provided a link to a logfile, please ignore me.)

I’ve misread log for config, attached the full log as the guide recommends, also the backtrace.

Thanks, that's very useful!

So the problem is the assertion in con_get_output that fails. We have to investigate why.

I’ve noticed one tiny, but important detail:

$ wine Setup.exe

crashes i3, while

$ wine ./Setup.exe

does not, but it still doesn’t move the window to the corresponding workspace, and after I quit from the wine application, that workspace looks frozen, I can’t switch focus to another window neither with keyboard nor with mouse (wine window is still there blocking the desktop?) – but i3 doesn’t crash, I can switch to another workspace, then back, and everything’s normal again.

Can you reliably reproduce this? Where is Setup.exe from?

[ghost]

I got a system message, that the glibc (or binutils?) version I was using is faulty, so upgrade is recommended. Now after I rebuilt toolchain, X and i3, it works as expected with wine windows.

Currently running:

sys-devel/binutils-2.29.1-r1
sys-devel/binutils-config-5-r3
sys-devel/gcc-6.4.0
sys-devel/gcc-config-1.8-r1
sys-kernel/linux-headers-4.14
sys-libs/binutils-libs-2.28.1
sys-libs/glibc-2.25-r9

Hmm, it worked just once, then it’s back again. I reopen it.

I suspect, that the issue may be in running wine from another user (for security). My X server has in autostart

xhost +si:localuser:wineuser > /dev/null

where wineuser is that user through which wine binaries is launched.
When I run wine locally, the windows never crash and follow the WM_CLASS to workspace bindings.
