Unlocking firewall settings leads to crash

[Oowoosh0]

What Happened?

Clicking on "unlock" in the firewall settings opens the dialog to input your password but as soon as I start to type the password the whole session crashed. This only happens in the Secure Session in the Classic Session everything works fine.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Settings > Security & Privacy > Firewall.
2. Click on "Unlock".
3. Enter password in Dialog (takes 1-2 seconds, so if you enter your password fast enough the error might not happen).

Expected Behavior

Entering your password should unlock the firewall settings and not crash the whole session.

OS Version

8.x (Circe)

Session Type

Secure Session (Wayland)

Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)

Log Output

Hardware Info

No response

Hmm, I can't reproduce your issue on the latest elementary OS 8 with Wayland session on virt-manager.

[Oowoosh0]

ok that's interesting because for me it happens on both of my devices. I'll look into it again later when I have more time, maybe I can find some hint to why it happens in the logs.

[Oowoosh0]

Here are the log entries leading up to the crash. The bug seems to be triggered as soon as I click on the password entry field. If I just open the dialog but don't enter a password then nothing happens but as soon as I click on the entry field for the password gala produces a segfault 1-2 seconds later. If I enter my password fast enough I sometimes manage to hit enter before the crash occurs.

@Oowoosh0 Can you post output of coredumpctl debug gala please?
