Description of the issue:
Double clicking on title bar will frequently instantly crash brave and make it disapear.
How can this issue be reproduced?
Expected result:
max/min browser
Brave Version( check About Brave):
Version 1.73.97 Chromium: 131.0.6778.108 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Additional Information:
Arch Linux - Fully patched
KDE 6.2.4
Nvidia 565.57.01
In a Brave Browser New Window, go to:
brave://settings/privacy
Enable all three switches:
By “double clicking title bar” do you mean the Brave Browser window title?
Sounds like, your double-clicking is meant to cause the Brave Browser window to expand to full screen - correct?
I am double clicking the title bar, in an attempt to toggle fullscreen/exit full screen. About 10-25% of the time I do this, brave crashes.
Be Prepared for Testing
Clear cookies, cache, history, etc.
In a Brave Browser New Window, go to:

Select the Advanced tab
Set Time range to “All time”
ENABLE everything except:
(Myself, I would NOT make that exception)
(because I would have a backup prepared.)
(In other words, be prepared.)

Usually, in a Linux OS command line, you can start Brave Browser with one of the following commands:
brave -n --args --incognito --no-experiments --disable-extensions --disable-gpu
or
brave-browser -n --args --incognito --no-experiments --disable-extensions --disable-gpu
In a Brave Browser New Window, go to: “brave://version”
Scroll down to “Command line”
The beginnings of that command line character string, will indicate which command to use.
When Brave Browser is running, then see how the Full Screen is performing.
You might need to:
With Brave Browser running, in a Brave Browser New Window, go to:
brave://flags
Click the “Reset all” button.
You might:
Have a Graphics Acceleration (aka Hardware Acceleration) problem . . . so, locate the Graphics / Hardware Acceleration switch in your Brave Browser settings, and turn it OFF.
Have a particular extension that you installed, that could be a source for the trouble. If more than one extension, then test them, one-by-one.
Add an additional Brave Browser Profile, for testing.
Then see how the Full Screen is performing.
still does it on blank profile and after clearing cache
@BobbyThortan,
In the new profile, can you please try disabling Graphics Acceleration (Settings --> System --> Graphics Acceleration) and test a few times to see if the issue still occurs?
Thank you
I already have this off as I’ve had a lot of issues w/ Brave on wayland it was one of the things I tried to make it better. Most of my issues are fixed these days, but this one persists.
Do you have any custom themes installed on your OS at this time?
No, I’m using Breezy to eliminate issues I’ve had in the past.
