From the bug's history, I cannot see, if the issue happens on a
buster system or just on stretch systems.

Furthermore, the coredump shows that it is caused by
gtk_drag_finish. Both coredumps on the bug hint that your issue is
triggered by some drag'n'drop operation. Is that so?


I noticed it can happen not long after dragging a Window List icon to
reorder, but I've also seen it happen many times randomly when I was
doing something unrelated to the panel.

I saw this same behaviour under both stretch (1.16.2-1) and buster
(v1.20.5-1).

I think it would be worth fixing this, as it could be uploaded to
stretch-backports and potentially buster.  I am prepared to help with
the latter, e.g. apply for an exception to the freeze.


Unfortunately, I am not so deep into upstream coding to fix this. The  
freeze exception is not the problem, it is finding the right patch.


Please get in touch with upstream via  
github.com/mate-desktop/mate-panel/ and see if they made any progress  
there. Once I have a patch, getting the fix landed in Debian is not a  
problem.

Hello.  On 02 May 2018, #884648 was updated with full backtrace info.

Is there any chance you could take a look at this before the full freeze
for Buster?
