[Bug 782552] [NEW] [xorg-edgers] Xorg crash (SIGSEGV) when taking screenshot

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Any time I try to capture a screenshot of the entire screen, with any program, Xorg crashes. Screenshots of individual windows work OK.
Even using "select a region" with the Screenshot plugin for Xfce4-panel causes a crash as soon as I click the button (before ever getting to select anything).

This is the first time I've tried to take a screenshot since installing
this system so I don't know if the issue exists in older versions of X.
I'll try reverting to official packages and see if it still crashes.
Before this I was using an entirely different machine, with an nVidia
card and x86 CPU, so I can't really say if it's ever worked on this
system.
