Even stable 2.82a crashes the same way, hinting towards something happening on the driver/Mesa side.

Couldn't redo this:

  • 2.90 (current master) c4d50b9ed4f47c
  • 2.82 stable release arch-linux & blender.org builds.

Also ran 2.90 in valgrind, no errors are reported.

Crash log hints at AMD graphics driver issue.

I suspect this: T76113: Crash closing file browsers with AMD GPUs
@Jakub Steiner (jimmacfx) Does it happen with File browser window of ctrl + O or ctrl + s ? Also add help > save system info .txt

The Silverblue compose that crashes is using mesa-dri-drivers-20.0.6-1.fc32. I just tested running the same Blender from within a toolbox container, using older mesa-dri-drivers-20.0.2-1.fc32.x86_64 and that works fine.

File dialog behaves correctly, no issues there.

This seems to clearly be in the driver/Mesa realm. Feel free to close.
