GIMP crashes when opening other programs Description of the bug
Reproduction
Is the bug reproducible? Randomly
Reproduction steps:
It doesn't always do it (I am trying to get it to do it now, and can't seem to), though it did about an hour ago.
When it does happen, I GIMP is minimized to the taskbar, and I double click on a file to open it in its associated program. I first noticed it with Faststone Image Viewer (https://www.faststone.org/). I thought it was related to opening the current image in GIMP by clicking on its file icon and opening in Faststone. Then I found it happened when clicking on images that were not (currently or recently) open in GIMP.
The latest occurrence (today) was clicking on an HTML file (which opened in Pale Moon) and GIMP crashed.
…
Expected result: GIMP does not crash
Actual result: GIMP crashes (and closes)
Additional information
I don't believe this happened before 2.10.24 (revision 2).
It happens often enough to be annoying, but not often enough to investigate easily.
I am not 100% certain, but I think it happened opening a text file (double clicking on it as with all the others) and opening in Editpad. Possibly others like Open Office, but not certain. So it may be unrelated to the specific application that is opening.
I feel like there was always an image open in GIMP at the time, but not certain.
