--- Comment #3 from Michael Catanzaro <mcatanzaro at gnome.org> ---
There is a bug in RenderLayerCompositor::isDescendantOfFullScreenLayer, here:

    auto* fullScreenRenderer = dynamicDowncast<RenderLayerModelObject>(fullScreenElement->renderer());
    auto* fullScreenLayer = fullScreenRenderer->layer();
    if (!fullScreenRenderer || !fullScreenLayer)
        return FullScreenDescendant::NotApplicable;

The code first assumes that fullScreenRenderer is not nullptr (as if the dynamicDowncast cannot fail) and uses it unconditionally. Then it checks to see if it's nullptr on the very next line. No good. The downcast is surely failing here. There might be a platform-specific reason for that, but this is a cross-platform bug.
