Steps of reproduction

"compton &" in bash
after some time realising that the effects don't work, terminal output is:

compton: ../compton/src/win.c:1623: map_win: Assertion `!win_is_focused_real(ps, w)' failed.

[1]  + 3362 abort (core dumped)  compton

What's stack trace, and where's the dump?

Just received an update and the issue seemed to never appear again. Thanks for your support!

Is that the only terminal output?

How often does this happen?

Is that the only terminal output?

How often does this happen?

Yes. Each time after, like, 3 minutes after launch

k0lourful on 25 Mar 2019

Can you run compton --log-level=trace and post the output?

yshui on 25 Mar 2019

Can you run compton --log-level=trace and post the output?

This takes longer that I expect it to, I'll write back when it happens next time with a log

k0lourful on 25 Mar 2019

Surprisingly, it never crashed since your response. I'll try to reproduce the issue with active and daemon (compton -b) processes

k0lourful on 25 Mar 2019

Can you run compton --log-level=trace and post the output?

Hey, I figured out that it at least crashes when a "Download" popup window of Firefox appears (floating), this happened now a few times. OP updated with the trace

k0lourful on 25 Mar 2019

I have exactly the same problem on arch with i3-gaps, but I cannot reproduce the bug with firefox's "Download" popup window or any other floating window.

This is my terminal output without trace log level:

@sveatlo Can you try again with --log-level=trace? Thanks.

yshui on 25 Mar 2019

I was just about to post it :D https://termbin.com/k3sh

inactive-dim-fixed = true;

glx-copy-from-front = false;

sveatlo on 25 Mar 2019

@sveatlo @xt1zer Should be fixed in next (also in stable/6)

yshui on 25 Mar 2019

Can you confirm?

yshui on 25 Mar 2019

I've been running from a git build since your comment without any problems. Though I wasn't able to forcefully replicate the issue before, I believe it is solved.

sveatlo on 26 Mar 2019

I'm closing this then. Please reopen if it happens again
