I was looking for pointers in regards to this error I'm receiving when
using libxft-bgra(
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxft/-/merge_requests/1). I explained the issue in (
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxft/-/merge_requests/1#note_884325):
"This patch (installed through this AUR package) leads to
X Error of failed request: RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 139 (RENDER)
Minor opcode of failed request: 8 (RenderComposite)
Picture id in failed request: 0x3b84
Serial number of failed request: 15315
Current serial number in output stream: 15327
when scrolling through this file(
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/luukvbaal/iconlookup/master/iconlookup) in suckless' simple terminal using a patched nerd font. Very peculiar I know but this is the only way I've been able to reproduce this error.
This sequence crashes the terminal every time:
open st -> open iconlookup in vim -> press 160gg to go to line 160(full size terminal showing 47 lines centered around line 160).
The same error does not happen when using different terminals but also does not happen in st when using the standard libxft from the arch repositories.
I'm interested in figuring this out but I'm not sure how to debug the
error. Would appreciate any pointers or thoughts regarding this."
I'm curious to know your thoughts on this as like I said the problem
does not occur with mainline libxft and st, does occur with libxft-bgra
and st, but does not occur with libxft-bgra and other terminals(tried
xterm/kitty/alacritty). Might this issue be fixed on st's side?
Best regards,
Luuk van Baal
