Crashing Terminal about xst HOT 9 CLOSED

fyi: https://lists.suckless.org/dev/1901/33147.html

from xst.

run terminal from another terminal and collect xst-s stdout/err at the moment of crashing

from xst.

Thanks for your quick response!
I did as you suggested (open other terminal and start xst from in there) and this is the output after the crash:

NeoMutt
X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)
Major opcode of failed request: 139 (RENDER)
Minor opcode of failed request: 20 (RenderAddGlyphs)
Serial number of failed request: 4220
Current serial number in output stream: 4256

mpsyt
X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)
Major opcode of failed request: 139 (RENDER)
Minor opcode of failed request: 20 (RenderAddGlyphs)
Serial number of failed request: 1931
Current serial number in output stream: 2159

Is there anything else i can help with?

from xst.

any difference if you're using some totally different kind of font?

from xst.

I changed the font from 'hack' to 'noto sans' and the output is only slightly different for neomutt:

X Error of failed request:  BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)
Major opcode of failed request:  139 (RENDER)
Minor opcode of failed request:  20 (RenderAddGlyphs)
Serial number of failed request:  3970
Current serial number in output stream:  4022

Maybe my Xresources could be helpful to track it down:

from xst.

and can you reproduce the same problem in st?

from xst.

Yes, i could reproduce it with st 0.8.1 in neomutt and mpsyt:

X Error of failed request:  BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)
Major opcode of failed request:  139 (RENDER)
Minor opcode of failed request:  20 (RenderAddGlyphs)
Serial number of failed request:  3994
Current serial number in output stream:  4038

I disabled my fish shell, but had no luck as well. Everything works fine in konsole. Anything else i could try?

from xst.

i'd suggest raising a question in st mailing list, since they have muuch bigger community than xst (and please reference here if you'll find a solution, so we could port it to xst)

from xst.

i think it's ok to close it here
