I'm the original submitter of this bug. I ended up reinstalling Ubuntu 14.04 because of this issue, as Gimp is an essential package for me and it was unusable because of the crashes.
Today I tried installing the new Ubuntu 16.04.01 release in a spare partition in the hope that it had been fixed, but no joy. Bug is still present in the updated release and I can reliably crash Gimp with the caps lock key. I have no issues on Ubuntu 14.04.4. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576424 Title: Gimp crashes with text tool & caps lock To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtk/+bug/1576424/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
