I had a PR closed because of this, one that fixes something that, had it not been fixed (by Claude, based on me noticing and clarifying the failure mode and verifying the fix), would have led me to abandon at least COSMIC, if not the distro. But this has me wondering how COSMIC, which had reached 1.x before I started using it, can mature, and whether I'll remain. I started on Pop!_OS with its COSMIC-less 22.04 version; I chose it as a fairly popular distro having Ubuntu stability while offering a leading-edge kernel. Point being, COSMIC was never the draw for me, and I held off upgrading to 24.04 for a LONG time out of concerns about bugs & stability; eventually 22.04 started experiencing ibus-related problems that forced my hand. Since I am (a) not knowledgeable in Rust, nor (b) conversant in the protocol at the core of this bug, I would never have had the gumption or time to understand and fix the bug. And since the PR is closed, it seems unlikely to even serve as a bug report.

In the meantime, others have experienced this bug and are waiting for the maintainers to notice and fix it. I'll just continue to run my fork (so far it has been no burden at all) while I (slowly) decide what direction to take.
