description |
This began when I upgraded to 16.10, it always happens when using Gimp under Gnome-flashback. Occasionally it happens with other apps too.
The quickest way to reproduce is to open up an image in Gimp, select all, copy and then exit. That's when Metacity crashes.
The bad part is, if I don't run 'metacity --replace' before launching gimp, it causes the entire session to quit and go back to the login screen. (I know why it does that, but there should be some better error handling there so people don't lose their work or any other in progress things, at least with just metactity crashed there's a way of restarting metacity and keeping the current session, as well as the ability to save work in other applications before restarting)

# Impact
Metacity crashes sometimes, which can lead to the session being aborted and can cause loss of unsaved work results.
# Test Case
The quickest way to reproduce is to open up an image in Gimp, select all, copy and then exit. That's when Metacity crashes.
It also crashes in other applications, like Netbeans.
# Fix
The proposed upload for Yakkety is identical to 1:3.20.3-1ubuntu3, which has been in Zesty for some time. The fix comes from upstream gnome-3-20 branch.
# Regression Potential
The fix has been staged in Zesty, and nobody complained.
