I get the error when, with an image opened in gimp, I click tools, select, rectselect. Nothing happens in the image window but the error appears in my terminal window at that moment. I can continue in gimp doing other operations with the image. Only when I quit gimp do I actually see the error message(s). To my knowledge I was not attempting to save the image as a text file or do any kind of save. My image file is a JPEG and for my purposes of cropping, resizing etc I dont make use of layers. I am happy to use my gimp as it is unless other signs of flakiness turn up. However I would love to know if my suggestion re cropping has a chance of being realized in a later release.
