Linux Preview Tracking issue

[mikayla-maki]

Goal: Linux Preview build

High level goals:

• X11 performance
• Add Client Side Decorations for:
  • resizing linux: Window flickering when resizing after recent commit #11469 Incorrect handling of xdg-shell events resulting in zed crashing on wayfire (wayland compositor on linux). #10976
  • moving
  • Drop shadow
• Render a menu @iamnbutler https://zed.dev/channel/linux-1201/notes#Linux-Menus
• improve GPUI prompts @iamnbutler (GPUI prompts are not using the UI font #9810 Pressing escape should dismiss the "do you want to save" prompt #9203)
• Remove non-functional mic and screenshare UI
• Augment 'copy system specs' with Linux related info
• Make blade errors more helpful
• Bundle git binaries in archive
• Rename Zed binaries one last time Name confilict with zfs-utils #12290, Zed binary has inconsistent naming on Linux #12306
• Support XDG trash
• Resolve all todo(linux)
• Fix scrolling
• Decide how to distribute the binary
• Fix modifiers getting stuck on
• Fix seg fault on exit
• Fix the cursor sometimes not changing

Bad Bugs:

• Code actions not working strangely
• Fix weird linux freezing - Zed hangs while running rust-analyzer #12339
• Fix ’thread 'async-io' panicked at 'local task dropped by a thread that didn't spawn it'
• Drag and drop + Clipboard issue on GNOME (prior art: https://github.com/apricotbucket28/zed/tree/wayland-own-clipboard) Unable to Paste on Wayland #12054
• Ship Alacritty update: fatal runtime error: IO Safety violation: owned file descriptor already closed on linux #12114
• X11: Bad rendering issue somewhere: Window Content Misaligned From Decorations on X11 Linux #11236
• Make sure auto updating is working: auto_update fails on deserializing release step #11114
• Double check that quitting is working: Linux: Zed does not close properly #11093
• Fix tests linux: unwrap() on 'Invalid keystroke cmd-shift-[', crashes at startup. #10382 test_disabled_keymap_binding fails on Linux with "Invalid keystroke cmd-k" #10427
• Clean up log file Zed shows many errors on boot #10246
• Double check scrolling feel Two-Finger scroll on trackpad is slower than mouse scroll #10081
• X11: crash after unmaximizing window [linux] Crash after unmaximazing window #9252
• X11: "Input event handling"? linux x11: Input breaks after opening file dialog #8931
• Alt getting stuck on
• Resizing pointer style not showing up
• Lines are rendered too wide and look wrong: linux: Lines are sometimes rendered too wide #12599

Terminal

• No context menu in the terminal element on right click
• No way to do "cmd-a, cmd-c" to copy all text, as on mac
• cmd-w is a default to close tabs now, but it is also an emacs "cut the word" keybinding - closing a tab instead of deleting a word is very annoying
• No way to search in the terminal element (cmd-f on mac)
• ctrl-e opens a tab picker instead of emacs "go to end of the line" keybinding

Maybe stretch goal

• Copy / paste has wrong binding: Linux: Copy/Paste commands don't show expected default key bindings #11912
• Tasks might not look right test task is run incorrectly on linux #11481

Stretch goals

• Fix blade bleeding Sprite atlas bleeding with blade renderer #12352 blade: Outline rendering for 1 pixel borders is not being rasterized properly #11056
• Duplicate keystrokes when changing seats: Duplicate keystrokes on linux after suspend #11966
• Too many open files: [linux] fs: Too many open files #10310
• Headless mode requires a lot of GUI related libraries
• “Could not start watcher on parent directory” Crash on navigation to a dependency symbol when using OmniSharp #12297 watcher crashes when set up on remote files on linux #11345
• The text system. That's it. That's the issue. There's a lot of TODOs in there, and lots of issues: Crash when typing b in css file #11703 Only some ligatures are being applied #12176 Fedora 39: Crashes on second startup when font family is Cozette #11323 Crash when created an excluded file #10890
• Decide how to handle XDG issues: Cannot open new project from Zed #11089
• Activate linux tests
• Other TODOs in Linux

Thorsten's Bug Collection (needs to be confirmed & prioritized)

• X11: creating new buffer and saving file opens wrong project folder in file picker
• Are settings.json being watched for changes on Linux?
