Patch to avoid segmentation fault
Comment 2 Gerhard Muehlbauer 2016-06-15 13:28:01 UTC
A QT application that does QWidget::grabGesture() on a window that is shown/hidden by touch events to another button sometimes crashes the XServer in dix/events.c function DeactivatePointerGrab(). See attacked backtrace.
My assumption is that the pointer "grab" is no more valid after some calls to touch functions.
My patch checks if the pointer in mouse->device.grab is still the same after the touch treatment. If not, a message is printed and the new pointer is loaded.
The patch solves the  problem for me and sometimes prints out messages that show the object in *grab has been replaced.
I don't  know ifthe patch is the solution or just a workaround.
