X server crashes when changing font size in LibreOffice / 'Failed to compile FS'

[Stefan Pietsch]

Dear list,

when enlarging text in LibreOffice Writer (e.g. 96pt) so that the characters fill the screen, the X server reproducibly crashes.
I'm running Debian sid with the package xorg-server
21.1.7-1. Hardware is a ThinkPad T410 with integrated Intel graphics.

####################


Disabling "glamor" with a configuration file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ solves this and the X server does not crash:


#####

Section "Device"

Identifier ""

Driver "modesetting"

Option "Accelmethod" "none"

EndSection



Section "Module"

Disable "glamoregl"

EndSection

If anybody is experiencing the same issue, this is the upstream bug: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/1336
A fix has been merged recently: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/1066

I have not been able to test it yet.

Stefan
