This happened to me too. I saw this post on askUbuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/163770 /gimp-crashes-ubuntu-12-04-when-using-tool
I tried what was suggested by the answer from Jacques de Beer. I pulled my USB mouse plug, loaded the image and reinserted the USB plug. Didn't crash. I'm using a onn wireless mouse model M730R. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1021517 Title: Xorg-server crashes reproducible with GIMP usage To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gimp/+bug/1021517/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
