sfwbar application menu crashes Wayfire on FreeBSD

[elgithubo]

If I click any application from sfwbar application menu (i.e. trying to launch it), the whole Wayfire session crashes and I am sent back to the non-graphical prompt.
sfwbar version: 1.0-b13
FreeBSD version: 14.0-RELEASE-p3

That very much sounds like a wayfire bug, regardless of any potential issue in sfwbar. No application should be able to crash the compositor.

[elgithubo]

That's a valid point.
I will open an issue against Wayfire.

This does look like a compositor bug, but it's interesting that it happens in the start menu. Sfwbar shouldn't have any direct interaction with the composition or wayland protocol when you select a menu item. Any interaction should come through gtk+/gtk-layer-shell. I wonder if this happens on a close of an xdg_popup popped up from a layer shell toplevel.

May be worth testing other occurrences of this. I.e. if you right click on a taskbar item and then select any item from a menu, does that crash wayfire as well?

I was about to open a ticket against Wayfire, but then I was unsure if it is an upstream issue or an issue with the FreeBSD port.
Can you test on linux if the issue exist there, too? I have no native Linux installation and Wayland won't run in a VM.

I tested this on linux with wayfire version 0.8.0-4dc014b and reproduced the crash. It looks like the issue is with unmapping an xdg_popup popped from a layer shell surface (in case of sfwbar this is a gtk menu), here's the log I got:
