[ Reason ]
This update includes a targeted work-around against a crash when running
under wayland. The details are in bug #1051296.
this bug affects all persons using wayland, so it would be great to have
the fix in trixie for much better user experience.
[ Impact ]
(See above)
[ Tests ]
freecad has autopkg tests, and O#ve manually tested the cahanges, on wayland and on XOrg
[ Risks ]
FreeCAD is a leave package, aging in unstable for 10 days now (more if you consider the botched -7 upload, that was my fault) so I consider it low risk.
The patch is very small.
[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
