Oh hey, are you the original Drawpile dev? We talked a long time ago back when Drawpile first started.
Today was a big Manjaro update that included Krita. This update fixed one other bug that dealt with resizing dockers, but did not fix this bigger bug.
I’ve been wondering about that ever since they started packaging that version. Pretty discouraging to hear. One of the things that drew me to Manjaro was their handling of repos. I haven’t had to use snap, flatpak, appimages,etc, nor have I ever had to downgrade, and I hoped I would never have to.
Tried out the Krita 5.3.2.1 Appimage just now. Was happy to see that all the layout and preferences were kept – that was my main concern. Unfortunately the combo of OBS+Rhythmbox+Firefox+Krita and hovering the stylus over the tablet caused gnome-shell to crash again, libmutter again at fault.
EDIT: In fact, the crash happened even when Krita was not running, just OBS+Rhythmbox+tablet. So it does look like Krita is not to blame for this one.
I guess I’ll look at different window managers, though X is no longer supported, and installing multiple DE’s is an absolute mess…
Thanks for your thoughts!
