0.46.9 broken on linux

Bug Reports
1

The 0.46.9 release is failing to launch on Linux with this error message:

Gtk-Message: 09:00:58.479: Failed to load module "colorreload-gtk-module"
'./cursor.AppImage' terminated by signal SIGTRAP (Trace or breakpoint trap)

0.45.14 works fine

Edit:
Got it working, looks like I had to delete my old cursor config files under ~/.config/Cursor and let cursor create it again on launch. Not sure what settings were the cause.

Edit 2:
Never mind, broken again. Looks like if I delete the config folder, cursor launches properly. But closing and relaunching results in the same SIGTRAP. Seems like cursor is breaking itself with the configs?

I also get Gtk errors, not at startup but in other instances, e.g. hitting Ctrl+. or opening a new file and trying to save it.

When trying to save a newly created file:

Thanks for the reports, I’ve passed this to the team to look at!

Same here

Looks like running cursor like this fixes things:

env XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share:/usr/local/share cursor.AppImage

From the other thread: Cursor 0.46.9-5 Crashes on Launch (Hyprland, Arch Linux, SIGTRAP)
