Wayfire crash on xwayland sub-window maximize #2972

Description

@Jelegk

Wayfire version

0.11.0-3c9a7712 (Jan 18 2026) branch master wlroots-0.19.2 (AUR package)

GPU / Driver

NVIDIA and AMD

Describe the bug

Maximizing any sub-window of an xwayland program with a mouse instantly crashes and exits to tty.
I assume it is for any xwayland program, but I've only confirmed it on REAPER and Krita.

To Reproduce

  1. Start an xwayland program.
  2. Open a sub-window of the program. (e.g. for REAPER: plugins window, options window, MIDI pianoroll, etc.)
  3. Drag and drop the decoration bar of said sub-window on top of the display to initiate a maximize.

Additional context

I have xwayland = lazy in wayfire.ini

The issue does not happen on my AMD laptop, curiously.

I'll be glad to give more output if needed, I'm posting ahead as to not forget
