MC-92318Minecraft crashes when enabling fullscreen with XWayland
If you've made it to get Minecraft running on XWayland (MC-92305), for example with the MultiMC Launcher and a lot of luck (with the Mojang Launcher Minecraft is starting not at all), then it crashes everytime you go into full-screen mode (F11).
Environment
Fedora 23 (x86_64); Fedora Rawhide/24 (x86_64) all other distributions using Wayland

Minecraft crashes when enabling fullscreen with XWayland
If you've made it to get Minecraft running on XWayland (

I'm not sure what XWayland is, but from the sounds of it it's a mod. If it is, Mojang can't help you.
Wayland is the new Display Server Protocol for Linux based Operating-Systems. It replaces the X11-Display Server Protocol.
Many distributions will ship Wayland in the next months and it is very important that Minecraft, a such well-known game can run native upon Wayland.
This would increase the security as well as the performance massive.
Minecraft has several critical issues with the compatibility layer XWayland. (MC-92305) (MC-92318) (And more...)
In addition, Linux distributions for smartphones like Sailfish OS, Ubuntu Touch or Tizen are also using Wayland, it would greatly increase the portability and productivity of Minecraft.
Minecraft currently runs with the compatibility layer XWayland, this is for legacy applications that don't use the Wayland Display Server Protocol, but instead using the old X11 Protocol.
The difference is, that MC-92305 and MC-92318 are two bugs describing problems when Minecraft is running on this compatibility layer.
Applications, especially games have an extreme overhead, if they are running on the XWayland compatibility layer.
Is this still an issue in the most recent versions (currently that is 1.10.2, or 16w42a) of Minecraft? If so, please update the affected versions and help us keeping this ticket updated from time to time. If you are the owner/reporter of this ticket, you can modify the affected version(s) yourself.
