macOS Monterey: WindowServer keeps crashing when trying to watch fullscreen videos
Is anyone else seeing this? I've begun to see other reports across different hardware (Apple Silicon and M1), and would appreciate more eyes on it. Related: https://old.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/qibcaz/macos_monterey_windowserver_keeps_crashing_when/
Just upgraded to macOS Monterey on M1 Mac mini to try to fix some odd issues with momentary display flickering/glitching in the top third of the screen.
Now, I have a more disruptive problem. Most of the time when I view a video in fullscreen, the Finder crashes and sends me back to the login screen. Upon relogging, the crash log says it has something to do with "WindowServer".
Doesn't happen 100% but most of the time. Repro is as easy as loading a YouTube video in a webpage then making it full screen.
Affects fullscreen videos in Chrome, Safari, and when I try to use IINA Player. Seems system-wide and not particular to a given app.
Mac mini 2018 or later
