Reported upstream: https://gitlab.com/screenkey/screenkey/-/issues/159
Upstream asks: Any chance to get more details on what was done to make it crash? There's probably some odd keyboard or mouse event which is not handled correctly. Could you provide some background on which actions triggered this, or if you have any specific keyboard/mouse setup?
At that time I didn't do anything with the program. I keep it running in the background at all times, not showing keys. If the code in that still collects keystrokes it could of course be some interaction with my system. There isn't anything special, though, if the code only looks at keystrokes. I have all kinds of USB devices attached, some might also act as HIDs, but they shouldn't produce obscure data. Until this morning screenkey didn't show anything anymore and I think that I haven't changed anything since the crash. The reason is the "start_disabled" entry in the config file which I hoped would start the program in a mode where it is by default not in the "show keys" mode. That seems not to be the case. But that setting shouldn't have any effect which could cause the bug, could it? Because the program is running in the background it's really hard to get better information unless the program collects it itself. For python code this often means adding checks for the conditions explicitly. If you add something to that extend and the problem persists I can provide better information.
Thanks for the details. Upstream mentions that the newer versions are immune to this problem, yet the root cause is not identified (https://gitlab.com/screenkey/screenkey/-/issues/159#note_701242787). If you can, try to revert this commit https://gitlab.com/screenkey/screenkey/-/commit/99a8a365de0b3880165392a2ba12c3632bbdbd71 and reproduce the issue? I will try to build a version on copr with this patch reverted in the weekend, for easier testing.

Do you really mean "revert"? The version I have installed (which is the latest officially released) does not have this extra check installed.
Ouch. I have missed to notice (or missed to update) the two new releases after 1.2. Would update to 1.4 this weekend; and we can check if the problem persists.
