Description Christian Stadelmann 2016-06-25 00:30:20 UTC 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox-47.0-7.wayland.fc24.x86_64
gtk3-3.20.6-1.fc24.x86_64

How reproducible:
always after some mouse movement

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open firefox with wayland GDK backend
2. open bookmarks menu
3. move mouse over bookmarks menu

Actual results:
Firefox crashes.

Expected results:
No crash

Additional info:
Sadly, gdb doesn't catch this crash. Instead, I'm getting this warning on CLI:

(firefox:8063): Gdk-WARNING **: Error 71 (Protokollfehler) dispatching to Wayland display.
Comment 1 Christian Stadelmann 2016-06-25 00:32:54 UTC 
This crash also happens in the main menu (menu toolbar enabled by pressing the Alt key).
Comment 2 Christian Stadelmann 2016-06-25 10:18:37 UTC 
Context menus in about:config are affected too, so I guess it affects most if not all menus

A backtrace from gdb attached to firefox from wayland copr

Breaking on g_strerror and skipping some occurrences, I managed to get a backtrace. The error is being catched in https://github.com/GNOME/gtk/blob/master/gdk/wayland/gdkeventsource.c#L197

Output of $ LC_ALL=C WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 firefox

According to upstream Gtk+ developer Jonas Ådahl [1]:

> As far as I can tell what is happening is that:
> 
> 1. a popup is created with the toplevel window as parent
> 2. another popup is created while the previous popup is still mapped, also with the toplevel window as parent
> 
> This is not allowed, as the compositor wouldn't know what to dismiss when the popup grab is broken.
> 
> I'm guessing that either firefox is
> 1) missing to destroy an old menu, or
> 2) using the wrong parent for a child menu, or
> 3) it accidentally creates two popups when it meant to create only one.
