Dear Maintainer,

GNOME Shell crashes with 'cogl_texture_2d_new_with_size: assertion width >= 1
failed' when playing videos in mpv on Wayland. This causes a complete system
freeze (Caps Lock unresponsive). Using GNOME 49.5 on AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U
(ThinkPad L14 Gen 2a). The issue persists even with hardware acceleration
disabled in browsers.
