I have a “zaphod” dual-head setup on my new system. I am running the open-source Radeon driver and the Xfce desktop.
I am seeing many applications crashing on one head when selecting text on the other. The same applications do not crash when they are running on the same head as the text is being selected on.
Every crash reports something like the following in dmesg:

As seen from the above logs, it is affecting multiple apps, but all are hitting the segfault in libgdk-3. Chromium, xfce4-terminal, the Xfce settings panel, and Thunar appear to be unaffected.
Any ideas how I can resolve this?
