On my son’s laptop, an asus vivobook pro N552VW-FY204T, i7 6700HQ Processor, 16Gb RAM, graphic intel HD Graphics & NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M with 2G/4G GDDR5 VRAM (I suppose that intel HD is used, becouse I unstalled bumblebee that worked badly), screen 1920x1080, running leap 42.2 and gimp 2.8.18;
when I open a 3 MiB jpg picture and I select a zone of that picture and I copy or cut that zone, gimp crash.
how can I solve this crash??
manythanks, ciao, pier 
…a way to solve is to disable copyQ (a clipboard manager), found here

…but in my leap 42.3 it works fine
I also launched gimp from konsole and found this:

The program 'gimp' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.

(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

and this with the --sync option
