Linux Wayland

Which Wayland compositor or X11 Window manager(s) are you using?

WezTerm version

20240203.110809.5046fc22

Did you try the latest nightly build to see if the issue is better (or worse!) than your current version?

No, and I'll explain why below

Describe the bug

I have a binding to spawn a new terminal in the CWD:

        {
            key = 't',
            mods = 'CTRL',
            action = wezterm.action.SpawnWindow,
        },

This binding consistently crashes wezterm with the following error:

Wezterm Error
running message loop: error during event_q.dispatch protocol_error=Some(ProtocolError { code: 2, object_id: 80, object_interface: "wl_surface", message: "" }): Protocol error (os error 71)

WezTerm also crashes when spawning a new terminal with an external (compositor) key binding. In this case though, it spawns one additional terminal successfully before crashing. The error is the same.

I am also getting protocol error 2 when spawning a new window. I am launching with a gnome shell global shortcut. It happens every time if a wezterm window has the focus, but does not happen if a different application's window has focus.

I see the error pop up as a gnome shell notification with title "Wezterm Error" and body "running message loop: Protocol error 2 on object wl_surface@27:". The number is not the same each time. Here's a screenshot:

This looks like the same issue to me, but perhaps someone else can verify this, or otherwise.
