Do other kernels act the same ? You can boot older kernels from GRUB

I will test that tonight.

I believe this is the 'partial refresh' bug. It only seems to happen
when I am doing other things and the respective display is not on top.

I tried this three times with the 5.0.0-23-generic kernel. The first
two times it segfault'd after about an hour. The third time, I left it
run unattended, on top, for about two hours.

I will try the 4.15.0-55-generic kernel tonight.

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Release: 18.04
Codename: bionic

I booted

 > uname -a
Linux Meerkat 4.15.0-55-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 2 18:22:20 UTC
2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

and started the application, simple_ra.

I ran the application from 10:30 to 12:45, with no problems. During
this time, I did other things, so simple_ra was not always on top and
lots of times was only able to refresh parts of its display area.

I guess the next thing is to boot the 5.0.0-23-generic kernel and try to
reproduce the segfault? Or, is two times enough?

As before, I started doing other things so simple_ra was not always on top.
After about an hour,

I noticed some strange things in /var/log/syslog. Some time stamps are
not in order. And, a strange message:
Aug 5 17:34:32 Meerkat gnome-shell[2078]: Some code accessed the
property 'WindowPreviewMenu' on the module 'windowPreview'. That
property was defined with 'let' or 'const' inside the module. This was
previously supported, but is not correct according to the ES6 standard.
Any symbols to be exported from a module must be defined with 'var'. The
property access will work as previously for the time being, but please
fix your code anyway.

I suggest you report a bug. Also please make sure that you have the latest BIOS

Is the bug database down? I can not connect.
