Heh, I found a crashing bug in file pickers a few days ago, affecting both GTK 3 and 4: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/5227 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/5227. It’s funny to hear positive speech of GTK 4, though, because apart from the accessibility stuff (once it’s all finally hooked up) I don’t think I’ve heard a single positive thing about it, but only more discussion of things they’ve gutted and broken for non-GNOME environments (… including font rendering especially in Flatpak or whatever), and my experience from trying out rnote and gtk4-demo under Sway has not impressed me either—just more badly-forced CSD, new slow and poorly-designed animations (most notably focus, but also things like caret blink fading), and traditional menus are super ugly and apparently completely broken by keyboard (gtk4-demo; run the Builder demo; press Alt+F to open the File menu; marvel first at how access keys are no longer underlined until you further press Up/Down, clearly a bug; leave the menu by keyboard, either by activating an item or by pressing Escape; observe that now the keyboard does absolutely nothing of any sort until you click in the window again). (And it’s easy finding more super obvious usability bugs. Compare the keyboard usability of the colour picker in the Pickers demo between gtk3-demo and gtk4-demo: they both get initial focus wrong, by keeping the Cancel/Select button focused if you clicked them and are reopening, but beyond that gtk3-demo is fine, while the gtk4-demo one has the wrong button as the default action when you press Space or Enter on an already-selected colour: it should obviously activate Select, but actually activates the Custom “+” button and then focuses the Cancel button. That suggests they’re modelling form controls in a somewhat weird way and made a fundamental change to the handling which will be responsible for bugs in a variety of similar places. And I can’t even be bothered filing any of this, but if anyone else wants to, feel free.)
