Same issue for me, the global-error.tsx also does not catch any errors thrown inside the root layout. I'm on v.13.4.10

Same issue for me, I've tried client errors or server errors but global-error.tsx doesn't work. I copied example from docs. I don't understand in switch cases global-error.tsx will work.

I want to catch errors in my root layout, because I have some login there with data fetching. For another components and pages error.tsx works as expected.

is this already fixed? I'm in 13.4.12 and still see the issue even defining global error and error 🤔

Any progress?

I have the same behavior in next/14.0.3-canary.2
global-error.tsx never triggers when throw an error in a root layout
