I'll leave this open in case anybody else hits it and has any extra info, but I'm fairly sure this isn't anything Ironbar is doing (all I do is ask GTK to close & open some windows, and hook the new windows into layer-shell).

I believe this is a problem with one of the lower-level components - either the GTK Vulkan renderer, the compositor or GPU drivers.

Alternatively it might be fixed on -git and I may have forgotten - could you try building the repo from source and see if it still occurs please?

@JakeStanger , I'll try the git HEAD a little later. Meanwhile:

INFO GTK: 109: [Gdk] MESSAGE: Lost connection to Wayland compositor.

This shows that IB sees something is happening with the screen and exits. This never happened before (in 0.17.1) and I think it's the regression.

Also can you please confirm that ironbar reload actually works? For me it crashes even without any config file.

The log is from GDK, not Ironbar. 0.18 switches to GTK4, which includes new versions of GDK, a new rendering stack, and a new version of gtk-layer-shell. There's a lot of things that could go wrong under the hood, and the most likely culprits are the ones I listed before.

Yes, it works.

Can this event be handled? Maybe reload or restart the bar?

No, that's not a part of the stack I have control of, and it's a fatal error.

I'd test if it happens with any other gtk4-layer-shell apps for you.
