I just discovered that if I move the text editor of gnome to the second monitor (HDMI), it crashes almost instantly.

They are more likely to be using: GNOME / gnome-text-editor · GitLab

I dont see where I can report that, here:

It’s under “Plan” in the side menu: Issues · GNOME / gnome-text-editor · GitLab

Thanks, at least I can say I’ve tried!
I can not login into the git account to report the issue, no matter how I tried, not using my gmail account nor the github account.
Then I selected to create a gitlab account and I got an error because I have github account?!

I’d try running it like this and then move it to the other monitor:

GSK_RENDERER='gl' gnome-text-editor
