Hi, I'm relaying a common bug report from i3wm that appears to be a dmenu issue involving a segmentation fault upon any user input. You can see the reports here: https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/3619
This occurs in dmenu 4.9. It seems that at least for some users, this version gives a segmentation fault when entering any text input into the dmenu input box. This impairs essentially all use of dmenu. Here is how I can bring about the bug: 1. Invoke dmenu using the i3 shortcut 2. Type any text input key 3. dmenu exits immediately Upon further inspection, this can be shown to be a segmentation fault. >From the command line: $ gdb dmenu $ (gdb) run < /dev/null ... Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. XmbLookupString (ic=0x0, ev=0x7fffffffcf50, buffer=0x7fffffffd010 <incomplete sequence \302>, nbytes=32, keysym=0x7fffffffcec0, status=0x7fffffffcdc0) at ICWrap.c:403 403 if (ic->core.im) This appears to be a dmenu-specific issue as it can be reproduced similarly from within a non-i3 window manager. My system is Fedora 29, dmenu 4.9. The error appears to have been introduced upon upgrading from dmenu 4.8, before which dmenu functioned properly. - Josh
