GitLab login not working on wayland

[pschyma]

I'm using sway and when git needs to authenticate it attempts to open a GitLab.UI window to perform the authentication.

On wayland only a black screen is shown and the logs are flooded:

It's working in a XOrg session.

This happens on terminal or in other applications (e.g. IntelliJ IDEA running on XWayland).

GCM Version is 2.0.886.

Can you please fill out this form so we can get some additional information from you?

In the meantime, a workaround that will allow you to keep using GCM without GUI capabilities is to run this command:

git config --global credential.guiPrompt false

There seems to be a prevalent issue with the Avalonia UI. We're planning to update to the latest version with our next release to see if it solves this issue.

This should be fixed in newer versions of GCM. If the issue persists, feel free to open a new issue.
