This issue might only be for Wayland, but I'm not sure yet.

I don't know how much this C++ code could translate, but a similar issue was talked about here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/732 ... land-issue.

I'm using the setup in the Perfect Setup thread in Linux Matters, but I've also tested this with the BibleAnalyzer package in the AUR. Same results. My host system is using Hyprland 0.5 with Wayland.

When you click Report Error or Close, the dialogue just comes back. The only way out is to click Abort and crash the entire program.

It appears Wayland (or something in the Linux page manager) does not accept the default keycodes that work on Ubuntu systems.

To test this further, I fired up a fresh install of Desktop Ubuntu 24.04 in a VM. This crash happens in default Unity on Ubuntu as well. While I agree that it's probably Wayland's fault. I really would appreciate if you could look into fixing this for Wayland, even if it's just for Ubuntu GNOME/Unity.
