Windows Terminal crashing when resizing panes #14254

VanVan · 2022-10-19T17:25:34Z

Windows Terminal version

1.16.2642.0 ( and tested also on 1.15.2875.0)

Windows build number

Windows 11 22H2 22621.674 (Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22634.1000.0)

Other Software

Powershell not required, the same occur with command line

Steps to reproduce

Open Windows Terminal
Maximize window to have more space for resizing (optional but makes it easier to reproduce)
Split the terminal horizontally (2 pans is enough)
Resize right and left pane repeatedly using keyboard shortcuts Alt + Shift + Left and Alt + Shift + Right holding down the right and left keys sometimes.
Crash of the app and lost all pans

Expected Behavior

The panes should resize without issues

Actual Behavior

Windows Terminal crashes
We lost all pans at once

Here is a short video example of a quick crash, sometimes it's slower, and you have to move more, it's random.

I have disabled Use the new text renderer ("AtlasEngine") and this fixed this problem !

lhecker · 2024-03-20T20:15:03Z

@mer30hamid The option to disable AtlasEngine will go away in the future. Could you please assist me in figuring out why it crashes? To do so, please enable AtlasEngine again and send me a crash dump. You can find my email address in my GitHub profile. Here's how to enable crash dumps: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/wiki/Troubleshooting-Tips#capture-automatically

Done.

nathan130200 · 2024-03-21T12:10:59Z

@mer30hamid I've tried didn't worked. I can fix this when i enable software rendering instead of hardware rendering.

After resize, the callstack of crash (i attached vs2022 debugger into crashdump):

 ucrtbase.dll!00007ffc23dcfde6()Unknown
Microsoft.Terminal.Control.dll!operator new(unsigned __int64 size) Line 36C++

 Microsoft.Terminal.Control.dll!Microsoft::Console::Render::Renderer::PaintFrame() Line 78C++
 Microsoft.Terminal.Control.dll!Microsoft::Console::Render::RenderThread::_ThreadProc() Line 217C++

I managed to combine the options between software rendering/atlas engine to get this results:

Atlas Engine	Software Rendering	Crash?
On	On	No
On	Off	Yes
Off	Yes	No
Off	Off	No

Also if i hit multiple times Save button while atlas engine is enabled, also make terminal crash.

VS debugger also points to here as the crash reason:

lhecker · 2024-03-21T21:26:13Z

@mer30hamid Thanks! Your terminal is crashing due to a heap corruption. Unfortunately I can't tell what's corrupting your heap. Would you be willing to help me further test this?

If so, one thing I'd like to test is whether Windows Terminal Canary crashes for you. You can install it here: https://aka.ms/terminal-canary-installer
After installing it, make sure it has imported all your settings from your regular Windows Terminal. (Otherwise open the settings file with Ctrl+Shift+, in both applications and copy it over.)

lhecker · 2024-03-21T21:27:49Z

@nathan130200 Your crash is super interesting! Would it be possible to share that crashdump with me? You can find my email address in my GitHub profile. Otherwise, could you tell me what the value of the size parameter is?

I can't install it because my windows version is: windows 10 22H2 Build 19045.4170 and I get this error:

App installation failed with error message: Windows cannot install package Microsoft.WindowsTerminalCanary_1.21.803.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe because this package is not compatible with the device. The package requires OS version 10.0.22000.0 or higher on the Windows.Desktop device family. The device is currently running OS version 10.0.19045.4170. (0x80073cfd)

p.s: When I enable use software rendering the crash does not accur

lhecker · 2024-03-21T23:07:43Z

@mer30hamid Ah sorry, I forgot that the appinstaller had this limitation. I believe the portable .zip should work though. You can get it here: https://aka.ms/terminal-canary-zip-x64

@mer30hamid Ah sorry, I forgot that the appinstaller had this limitation. I believe the portable .zip should work though. You can get it here: https://aka.ms/terminal-canary-zip-x64

I sent you the crash dump for this version, turning the "Use software rendering" option to "on" , solved the problem again!

nathan130200 · 2024-03-25T10:56:44Z

@lhecker the size param value is 331, combined with sizeof(DWRITE_GLYPH_OFFSET) * size value is 2648.

Update: I've checked here and if i let windows choose prefered GPU for Terminal, then will use my onboard-gpu and will trigger the crash if Enable software rendering is not enabled while resizing the window. While i manually set to windows use my offboard gpu, don't crash Terminal.

I will send the crashdump.

lhecker · 2024-03-25T13:35:22Z

@nathan130200 Thanks for the dump! It's very helpful, since it contains a reference to the entire AtlasEngine instance at the time of the crash. I've written a response here: #16747 (comment)
In your case, I would recommend to continue using your Nvidia GPU.

By the way, since you say "onboard-gpu", are you sure your have your monitor plugged into your Nvidia GPU? Because if you did, Windows Terminal should've been using your Nvidia GPU by default. I would suggest checking that. 🙂

nathan130200 · 2024-03-25T15:00:19Z

I've said "on-board GPU" because its a laptop GPU (the chip is soldered onto the motherboard itself), then windows keep switing between HD Graphics (default for non 3d/2d/graphics related) and GeForce 710M (when using directx/opengl stuff).

lhecker · 2024-03-25T15:32:36Z

I have another idea why this may occur and will add a bunch of settings to the Rendering tab to give users more control over this. 🙂

This implements `SetForceFullRepaintRendering` and adds a new `SetGraphicsAPI` function. The former toggles `Present1` on and off and the latter allows users to explicitly request Direct2D/3D. On top of these changes I did a minor cleanup of the interface, because now that DxRenderer is gone we don't need all that anymore. Closes #14254 Closes #16747 ## Validation Steps Performed * Toggling Direct2D on/off changes colored ligature support ✅ * Toggling Present1 on/off can be observed in a debugger ✅ * Toggling WARP on/off changes GPU metrics ✅ --------- Co-authored-by: Dustin L.
