Hi,

Running 'avidemux_qt5' under Wayland (KDE 5 kwin) launches fine but crashes after opening a video file. The relevant error message appears to be:

X Error of failed request:  BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  55 (X_CreateGC)
  Resource id in failed request:  0x5
  Serial number of failed request:  26
  Current serial number in output stream:  28
 [abortExitHandler] 05:40:07-544  already done, nothing to do
07:40:07 Call terminate!!!

See attached log for full output.


Workaround:

Launch with

avidemux_qt5 --platform 'xcb'

then it works fine (found here: [1]).
