GIMP Version: 2.8.14
Operating System: Windows
GIMP Experience: Intermediate Level



Gimp either only picks black when I use the colour picker, or the whole program crashes entirely.
I do have a 2 screen set up if that could have anything to do with it?.
It used to work fine for me on my previous laptop. Not anymore though :/
What can I do to fix it?
Does anyone have any tips?
Thanks!

This is a reported bug in Gimp 2.8.14 and seems to have been fixed in the latest Gimp 2.8.16 version.
I too was having issues with the same exact thing and also using a duel monitor setup.
Installing the latest Gimp seemed to help, but I also no longer use a duel monitor setup.

It still does the same for me :/
I wonder what I can do to fix this.
How could a dual monitor setup have something to do with it?

That's a good question, of which I have no answer for and one I've also been asking myself.

If you would like, you can view my bug report of this issue, using the link below and perhaps make a bug report as well.
