#134 On Linux Mint Dia crashes the window manager after starting

[DaHo]

I'm running the follwing system with Dia installed:

Everything works normal but after starting the Dia editor all menu can be selected but don't show anyting. Also the taskbar disapears. The system does resond to alt/tab and the foursqaured button. This effects all other applications running as well. It seems that DIa crashes the window manager.

Effectively I can;t uses Dia due to this. The fault is always reproducable.

I'm new here so I don't know how this usually works. Would it be possible to confimr that this ticket was received? Thanks in advance!

Step one would be opening a bug report at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/dia/-/issues/new

foursqaured button?

[DaHo]

Thanks for your response! I wasn't aware of that. I just issued the bug report you referred to. What happens with this bug report?

To clarify: I meant the foursqaured button on my keyboard.
