208** Emacs compiled with GTK+ 3 crashes when run under some X servers.
209This happens when the X server does not provide certain display
210features that the underlying GTK+ 3 toolkit assumes. For example, this
211issue has been seen with remote X servers like X2Go. The symptoms
212are an Emacs crash, possibly triggered by the mouse entering the Emacs
213window, or an attempt to resize the Emacs window. The crash backtrace
214contains a call to XQueryPointer.
215
216This issue was fixed in the GTK+ 3 toolkit in commit 4b1c0256 in February 2018.
217
218If your GTK+ 3 is still affected, you can avoid the issue by recompiling
219Emacs with a different X toolkit, eg --with-toolkit=gtk2.
