Emulator seg-faults upon resizing active game window (Linux, Xorg, i3wm and NVIDIA) #18131
Whenever I launch a game using the Vulkan renderer, and I un-pin the window from the tiling WM, then proceed to resize it, the emulator seg-faults.
Happens every single time I try to resize the game window. Does not happen if I'm resizing the emulator's main Qt GUI window, only for the actively emulated game's window.
Only seems to happen with Vulkan, while it doesn't with OpenGL.

This is the relevant log from the terminal:

The issue doesn't appear to be Linux specific as i can replicate it on Windows 10. Tried with default settings.

please verify if it is a possible regression since 0.0.39-18736 (#18111)

For me on Windows, that seems to be the regression point:
Working - RPCS3-18725.log.gz
Failing - RPCS3-18736.log
Failing - RPCS3-18737.log

so you are confirming the issue I faced in the same PR. It seems a regression since 0.0.39-18736 (#18111)

@Ninetime How are you resizing exactly? By dragging the border? Or maximize/minimize?

#18140 fixes this
