I’m on the system image v3 (which I know is in unstable, so some bugs are expected), and Sway crashes every time I try to upload a file to a site via either Firefox (my preferred browser) or Chromium. I’ve had this issue on several sites (mostly sites to order CNC cut parts e.g. SendCutSend or CAD File Quotes | CNC Milling, Turning & Cutting | eMachineShop ). I’m wondering if anyone else has encountered this, is there a workaround?
I’m also not seeing any messages in journalctl -r or dmesg that seem related to the issue.
Even trying to upload the error log here crashed my browser. Here are the top lines from ‘sudo journalctl -r’:

I have seen similar on Chromium, but I have to say that Vivaldi has been solid, only slower due to it doing a lot more than Chromium.
Strange, I’m having no such issue. Sounds like a problem with the GTK3 file picker? Can you use the file picker in other GTK3 applications?
I don’t really see anything interesting in that log.
Can you give me an example of another GTK3 application with a file picker? I’d be happy to test - but am not sure which application run on GTK3.
Same issue opening a file in GIMP (whille using the Sway environment). The issue doesn’t occur when using the Gnome desktop, which makes an okay workaround for now. But I prefer using Sway for automatic window tiling and the snappier performance. I’ve left my sway config file with default settings, so I’m not sure if the issue is related. I have updated and installed a few packages (not a clean v3 image - so its possible that one of the dependencies was updated to broken version).
