Description of problem: kvirc Segmentation fault (core dumped) when run under kwin_wayland plasma based session. Cant say wether this is also a problem under gnome-wayland, needs to be verified. tried on both Intel based 810 driven kwin_wayland and Nvidia_460.39-1.mga8 so definitely hardware agnostic.

So I will continue to log this and any future kwin-wayland environmental issues as low priority, and be available for future verification of fixes. Thank you Regards peter winterflood

I dont have a github account and dont intend to get one unless hell freezes over, but I will attempt to raise it on there IRC channel which is one of there suggested ways of raising bugs. regards peter
looks like its already been reported upstream https://github.com/kvirc/KVIrc/issues/2479 via fedora. but its the same issue as far as i can see. regards peter
@Peter : thanks for reporting this. Trying it on my up-to-date M8 system, and despite having a heap of Wayland pkgs (including 'k' ones) installed, I could not get Plasma/Wayland to happen (be offered in the SDDM desktop menu) without adding 'plasma-workspace-wayland' as well. That for info to others. 'kvirc' worked on straight X11/Plasma. It worked on Gnome/Wayland (not so easy to achieve either; use GDM). It crashed instantly on Plasma/Wayland (the lack of X select/paste is painful here - at least between applications): $ kvirc Segmentation fault (core dumped) > I dont have a github account and dont intend to get one unless hell > freezes over Sympathies! And thanks for that bug reference. I guess we have to wait. Assigning to the KDE people.
