Description Peter Kopec 2021-08-30 13:06:02 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1998759 +++

Description of problem:
After an update of my CentOS 8 Stream Desktop home PC, now I face the following:

Using the gnome file manager ("Files", "Nautilus"), marking a file and starting to drag, the entire desktop crashes, I am back on a terminal login screen, and changing to other login screens fails.

After a downgrade  to 
mutter.x86_64                                     3.32.2-58.el8  

drag an drop work as before fine and nice.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mutter.x86_64                                     3.32.2-59.el8
causes the crash.

How reproducible:
Stably reproducible. Mark a file and start dragging.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Up to date CentOS 8 Stream.
2. Open "Files" (Nautilus, Gnome File manager)
3. Mark a file and start to drag with the primary mouse button hold down.

Actual results:
Desktop crashes


Expected results:
Drag and Drop

Needed https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/537 too.
Comment 6 Peter Kopec 2021-08-31 11:53:35 UTC 
With provided scratch build drag and drop works without any issues, drag and drop when in scaled mode works normaly as expected also. No other issue was found during testing. 
Tested with AMD, nouveau driver and nouveau software rendering.
Comment 7 tuxbenutzer 2021-08-31 15:24:28 UTC 
Thanks for going after this! ... sigh ... sad you could not reproduce.

I just upgraded mutter to the latest version, produced two straight crashes, and after downgrading again, can again drag and drop files with nautilus.

I'd welcome ideas how to go about it. I have some background in C-code development for numerical codes (CFD), but not operating systems or desktop software. I'm simply lost at the plethora of dependencies and how this works at all with my state of knowledge.

> Thanks for going after this! ... sigh ... sad you could not reproduce.

I could reproduce with with the -59 version. What Peter just tried was a scratch build with the above linked merge request included. I'll attach the x86_64 mutter package here for you to try as well would you want to.
Comment 9 tuxbenutzer 2021-08-31 15:46:23 UTC 
Installed mutter-3.32.2-60.el8.x86_64.rpm, logged out and logged in again to restart the desktop and drag and drop works fine for me!

Many thanks indeed!
