Description: LibreOffice applications crash with error message reported on terminal: "Gdk-Message: 11:28:57.886: Error flushing display: Broken pipe" sometimes when pasting big chunks of text or images under a Wayland Session. Mostly happened with LibreOffice Impress. Good reproducibility, I've been using Impress for the past 4 days and I got at least one crash per hour (and I was not copying constantly). System Fedora 35, Gnome Wayland, Mesa, Radeon card. LibreOffice version 7.2.6.2 latest on Fedora Steps to Reproduce: 1. Gnome Wayland 2. Copy and paste for a while. 3. Crash (I got one once every hour or so or normal use). Actual Results: Crash (and loses around 5 minutes of work when recovering) Expected Results: Not crash Reproducible: Sometimes User Profile Reset: No OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: Happened mostly with Impress, but likely affects the others. Fedora 35, Gnome Wayland, Mesa Radeon card.

I suspect "error flushing display: Broken pipe" happens when we basically hang and events accumulate and we are eventually killed off due to not processing them. It's not something I've seen on cut and paste so not easy for me to reproduce. Do you know what application you were pasting from? Maybe we are hanging on pasting from some particular source.
Thank you for your reply. It happened when pasting from Impress itself. Yesterday it too crashed later but this time was different than the others, it happened when doing multiple CTRL-Z Undos. I didn't have Impress opened in the terminal but ABRT picked the crash (for the first time) and prompted me to generate a stack trace, but I didn't know what I was doing and couldn't do it. So you say that that error gives no information about the source of the crash? I'll try later to see if I can cause the crash faster (up until now everything happened doing normal use) and see if I can get more information or clues.

Just after posting this, got a crash (after almost 3hrs of continuous use). Error this time is: Gdk-Message: 12:51:45.307: Lost connection to Wayland compositor. The only thing I did was click save and changed to another slide and it crashed. I'll do more testing as I've said in my last comment and see if I can find something. Is there any script or something that can automatically use Impress to test stability?
I've been able to reproduce the issue reasonably quickly by just opening the file and copying, pasting and moving objects constantly, as you can see in the terminal screenshot I've posted. I've also been able to reproduce on another computer, a Thinkpad W541 running Fedora 35 and Intel Mesa Wayland stack. I had troubles reproducing the issue first: I couldn't get a crash on a fresh new file on both computers and when I copied the original file that caused the crashes to the Thinkpad I couldn't get a crash either. I then realised that I didn't have the customs fonts installed that I used in my file. Immediately after installing these fonts I got a crash in about 2 minutes. So it seems that the crashes are related to customs fonts. I was using two: FiraCode Nerd Font and TempleOS Rendello's font conversion. Both OTF fonts. Not sure how to continue investigating from now on.

pepewow, can you attach the file in question for us to test in the same conditions? I tried: 1. Installing the extra fonts: - https://github.com/Trzcin/Fira-Code-Nerd/blob/master/Regular/complete/Fira%20Code%20Regular%20Nerd%20Font%20Complete.otf - https://github.com/rendello/templeos_font/blob/master/templeos_font.otf 2. Adding some text in both fonts in several slides 3. Copying, pasting, moving objects No crash in 7.2.0.4 nor in recent trunk build. (using Wayland and Gnome on Ubuntu 20.04).
