Description
Is this a new report?
Yes
System Info
Void 6.1.15_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rF
Package(s) Affected
gtk+3-3.24.37_1
Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?
No response
Expected behaviour
When I double click on a file or choose „Open with“ from context menu in file managers like nautilus or thunar the file should open in the registered/chosen application.
Actual behaviour
If the registered/chosen application depends on gtk+3 nothing seems to happen. One can find a segfault error message in syslog (e.g.):
2023-03-10T13:58:56.05209 kern.info: [11477.386779] gedit[19023]: segfault at 40 ip 00007f59bf4c5d40 sp 00007fff48588128 error 4 in libwayland-client.so.0.21.0[7f59bf4c4000+6000] likely on CPU 4 (core 4, socket 0)

This behavior started with the update to gtk+3-3.24.37_1
Steps to reproduce
- Use wayfire as window manager
- Try to open file from graphical file manager (e.g. nautilus, thunar etc.) with double click or from context menu
- Nothing seems to happen
- The targeted gtk+3-based app crashes with segfault

Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash with wayfire, a GTK+3 application, and a file manager such as nautilus or thunar, then inspect the syslog segfault in libwayland-client.so. Compare behavior with gtk+3 before and after 3.24.37_1. Done means opening a file through double-click or “Open with” no longer crashes the target application.
