Hi,

I was trying an example from the xdotool man page:
    xdotool search --onlyvisible . behave %@ mouse-enter getmouselocation
for which the man page says
    # Print the cursor location whenever the mouse enters a currently-visible
    # window:

When I run this, it outputs
    Defaulting to search window name, class, classname, and role
... so far so good.

But when I move the mouse to another window, I am rewarded with
    x:914 y:420 screen:0 window:20971529
    double free or corruption (out)
    zsh: IOT instruction (core dumped)  xdotool search --onlyvisible . behave %@ mouse-enter getmouselocation

I'm using fvwm3.  Any other xdotool users who would care to try this
example and report whether it crashes for them (and, in case it has
something to do with window manager choice, which WM you are using)?

If it's not just me (or maybe even if it is) I'll raise an issue at
xdotool's github page.

Thanks.
                                Jim
