1788250 - Matrix on Wayland is unstable "Error reading events from display: Broken pipe"

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Thunderbird :: Instant Messaging, defect)

Description

[Tom Butler]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:104.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/104.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch Thunderbird on a wayland desktop environment (I am using Wayfire)
2. Add a Matrix account
3. Either immediately or while interacting with the chat tab, the whole application will crash.

There is a secondary issue, possibly related, that verifying the device never makes the prompt appear on wayland, but I'll report that separately once it doesn't crash.

The easiest way to replicate it is to quickly switch between conversations, opening one while another is still loading seems to cause this almost every time

Actual results:

What's weird here, is that my device was verified at the point I got this message.

I tried with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 and it seems a lot more stable

Expected results:

It doesn't crash
