My suggestion would be to try to pour all that anger energy into checking whether the change mentioned in the quoted parts of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/789#note_777421 does solve that issue.
This is a change to GTK, and the comment likely refers to a more recent version that what is packaged in Ubuntu 16.04, so the line number might not match exactly. Testing this requires building GTK, and it being a rather central library for many applications means it should preferably be attempted by those who know what they are doing. That's not really certain, because this usually happen as soon as something is copied - that's what the issue report I linked to is about. But it might take some time to occur after the copy action is done, so "crashes when pasting" could mean that enough time has elapsed then. ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues #789 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/789 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to gimp in Ubuntu.
