[Bug 1846183] [NEW] Xorg crashes when touching an unmapped button

 

Public bug reported:

When touching an unmapped tablet button, Xorg crashes. This happens
immediately when working in Gimp and might need a few presses when Gimp
is not open.

This bug is very consistent and I can repeat it always, even after a
reboot.

Workaround: I configured all unmapped buttons on the tablet to map to
<alt>+<tab> and this seems to prevent the crashes. Of course, this does
not fix this nasty bug.


I have a Wacom Intuos Pro 2 M attached to a Dell XPS 13 9380 laptop with Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS.


/var/log/kern.log shows the lines like the following:
kernel: [ 1710.477890] rfkill: input handler disabled
kernel: [ 1710.477890] rfkill: input handler enabled
