- Driver/LLVM version: Mesa 22.0.0

I confirm:
- [ x ] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
- [ x ] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.
Symptoms
When an affected game is launched, any use of three fingers gestures results in a crash in GNOME, such as changing the virtual desktop. Using the keyboards shortcuts for the same action does not result in a crash.
This bug was not present ~5 month ago and is probably linked to the support of mutitouch gesture in XWayland, added in december.
This may also be linked to #5703.
Reproduction
- Launch any of the games on GNOME 41.5/42 with Wayland.
- Input any multitasking shortcut with the touchpad (three fingers slide up/left/right).

Research direction
Start with the attached steam-APPID.log files and compare the crashes across the affected games, then read the related issue #5703 and the Wayland/XWayland gesture context mentioned here. Reproduce on GNOME under Wayland using the listed three-finger gestures and verify that the affected games no longer crash while keyboard shortcuts remain unaffected.
