Minimize App Bug On Linux (Ubuntu with Wayland)

[gilded sun]

A random bug I found messing around is when you minimize a tauri window and then you open the window back up there can be a large chance the window just stops updating. Resizing the window will not change the size of the elements on screen. Instead filling the rest of the window with just black. The only thing you can do is close the window if you want it to fix itself. You can still drag the window around when it's in it's bugged state, which is weird. This NEVER happened to me so far.

I'm slowly starting to dislike tauri even though I love it so much. I know it's webkit's fault but when my app freezes constantly it's not going to be a good user experience. If someone can provide a fix, thank you for your time.

Have you seen this? https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/10686

Not the same symptom but maybe related?

Yeah, testing GDK_BACKEND=x11 (or wayland if you're on x11 session) would be cool.
Also WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 and/or WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 would also be good to test.

that's not really my issue. I can still move the window around, everything in the window just freezes up. Thank you though.

[gilded sun]

should these be system environmental variables or user?

[eager parrot]

You can just add it when you start your app like GDK_BACKEND=x11 cargo tauri dev (or the built app whatever).

But yeah, user wide / per terminal session is enough, no need to set it system wide

This kind of fixed it. I have two monitors, on my main monitor it fixes all the issues. Second monitor it freezes on window minimize.
