Summary
Zed freezes when maximizing or closing the window on Ubuntu 25.04
Description
Steps to trigger the problem:
- Launch Zed on a fresh Ubuntu 25.04 installation.
- Attempt to maximize the Zed window or close it using the window controls.
- The editor immediately freezes and a system dialog appears saying
"zed" is not responding.
Waiting does not resolve the issue and the dialog keeps reappearing.
Actual Behavior:
Zed becomes completely unresponsive when trying to maximize or close the window, showing the "zed" is not responding dialog repeatedly.
Expected Behavior:
Zed should maximize or close normally without freezing or triggering a system error dialog.
