After upgrading from F41 to F42, kwin_wayland crashes. Downgrading kwin from kwin-6.3.4-3.fc42 to kwin-6.3.4-1.fc42 fixes the issue. Fedora system is up-to-date.

This is an issue in Qt, reassigning.
Tested on T14s G5 (don't have a P14s I'm afraid - but it's the same MTL device). My system has a different panel (2880x1800~120Hz) Mine is from a fresh install, not an upgrade. Not seeing any issues - system is working nicely From the above I see nouveau is being used - does the system have an Nvidia card? Anything interesting in the kernel logs related to that? The nouveau driver is in much better shape than it used to be...but still has issues. Mark
