X11 GNOME shell crashes when dragging windows in activities overview

[JamiKettunen]

Is this a new report?

Yes

System Info

Void 6.6.29_1 x86_64-musl AuthenticAMD/VM uptodate F

Package(s) Affected

gnome-shell-45.5_2

Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?

No response

Expected behaviour

Windows in the activities overview can be dragged around to other workspaces without issue.

Actual behaviour

Attempting to move windows around in the activities overview by holding left click and dragging them towards another workspace simply crashes the GNOME shell with an Oh no! Something has gone wrong. screen with a Log Out button.

I cannot reproduce this under the Wayland session so it seems specific to the X11 session.

Steps to reproduce

1. Select GNOME on Xorg in GDM
2. After logging in start any app (e.g. nautilus)
3. Open activities overview and try moving any open window to another workspace

This is caused by baeee86 as GNOME changed the cursor names between GNOME 45 and GNOME 46.

Can confirm too, it is ultimately a problem in mutter which seems to already be fixed.

This script should temporarily fix the crash:

CURSOR_THEME="$(gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme | tr -d "'")"
sudo ln -s "/usr/share/icons/$CURSOR_THEME/cursors/default" "/usr/share/icons/$CURSOR_THEME/cursors/dnd-none"
sudo ln -s "/usr/share/icons/$CURSOR_THEME/cursors/default" "/usr/share/icons/$CURSOR_THEME/cursors/dnd-move"

(edit): fixed the script for your copy-pasting convenience.

Had to add CURSOR_THEME=$(echo "$CURSOR_THEME" | tr -d "'") before calling the ln commands, but yea that fixed it
