System freezes when closing from windows preview in Gnome

Summary:

At this point I want to find out if this is caused by the system, the desktop environment or by Inkscape itself. What I can say is that it does not happen for other applications.

So, what happens is that I open multiple Inkscape windows and in Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) with GNOME 41.1, when I try to close one of the windows from the windows preview popup, the entire system freezes completely, including the mouse. I have to force a shutdown and restart. Like I said, I tried this with other apps and it does not happen.

Steps to reproduce:

  • open two Inkscape windows (last version from snap or even the debug version built from source)
  • move the cursor over the dash and click on the app icon to see the windows preview
  • click on the close (red) button. might not happen at first try but do it a few times

What happened?

Everything freezes

What should have happened?

The window should have closed
