Description:
Cinnamon segfaults in libmuffin any time a fullscreen window is closed. muffin 3.0.5-1 Steps to reproduce: Open mpv (the media player) with some video, switch to fullscreen (with "f") and close mpv (with "q"), bang, Cinnamon crashes. If you close mpv while it is not in fullscreen, Cinnamon does not crash. Also, this happens with other fullscreen apps like sometimes with games on steam etc. It is easier to reproduce with a player like mpv though. This Bug is known upstream and there is a fix, so this is mainly a request to update muffin, or at least include the patch for this bug: https://github.com/linuxmint/muffin/issues/249 |

With this Bug-Report being my first, I ran into some conflict:
"Flag Package Out-of-Date: If you notice that a package is out-of-date (i.e., there is a newer stable release available)"
"Do NOT report bugs when a package is just outdated, or it is in Unsupported. Use the 'flag out of date' link on the package page, or the Mailing List."
You could see muffin 3.0.5-1 as ot-of-date, since there is a fix available upstream for a bug, yet there is no newer stable release available.
I guess my choice to report it as bug is the right one, but guidance for this particular situation could imho be mentioned somewhere (for example in the Reporting Bug guidelines) for beginners.
