OK, since my last emerge -auDN @world urxvt keeps crashing on me on certain situations. For example, if I change my keyboard layout to Farsi and type anything it crashes! Also, if I for example open neovim in one tab and move to another tab and move back it crashes! It's really weird. Masking x11-terms/rxvt-unicode-9.31-r1 and reverting back to 9.31 works as expected.
Could you include emerge --info, and ideally a backtrace (see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Debugging#Per-package)? Thanks.

Mamadou, have you emerged 9.31-r1 with or without USE=wide-glyphs?
Thank you Marek! I've just rebuilt it using your suggestion and it seems to work. I'll report back if I see the issue again.

It was enabled.
Now, I have it disabled and it works it seems.
Mid-air collision with both of you :-) Thanks for clarifying, I was worried the wide-glyph patch had the same problem as the 24-bit-colour one i.e. could not be completely disabled at configure time - in which case we would have to apply it conditionally as well. However, seeing as the crashes appear to be specific to wide-glyph functionality there isn't much to do.
I remember 24-bit-colour having issues so I had that disabled for a while and it seems to be OK for now. I did apply both use flags together. Could it be because of that?
