Comment 0 for bug 1927827

Attempting to run cheese on a HDPI display in Wayland results in the following errors:

(cheese:9303): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 10:29:11.221: gdk_wayland_window_set_dbus_properties_libgtk_only: assertion 'GDK_IS_WAYLAND_WINDOW (window)' failed

(cheese:9303): Gdk-WARNING **: 10:29:11.265: Native Windows taller than 65535 pixels are not supported

When this error happens, the cheese window does not open.

Sometimes the "Native Windows ... not supported" does not occur, the cheese window does open. However, the photo area is black. I can work around this problem by changing the "Photo resolution" in preferences to a different value, and then changing it back.
