My suggestion would be to try to pour all that anger energy into
checking whether the change mentioned in the quoted parts of
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/789#note_777421 does solve
that issue.

This is a change to GTK, and the comment likely refers to a more recent
version that what is packaged in Ubuntu 16.04, so the line number might
not match exactly. Testing this requires building GTK, and it being a
rather central library for many applications means it should preferably
be attempted by those who know what they are doing.

That's not really certain, because this usually happen as soon as
something is copied - that's what the issue report I linked to is about.
But it might take some time to occur after the copy action is done, so
"crashes when pasting" could mean that enough time has elapsed then.
