[Linux] Game crashes upon startup with custom xrandr resolution

Description:
I am running Minecraft 1.12.2 on Linux (Fedora 27, kernel 4.14.8) and the game will not start with a custom resolution. I'm using a Dell XPS 13 (HiDPi) so I wanted to render the game at 1600x900 as opposed to 3200x1800. This is the log of setting the custom resolution:

I then set the resolution in GNOME settings and launched the game. It crashes with this error:

I have tried using the mainstream java .jar launcher aswell as the 2.0.1005-dev-linux launcher found here:

and here:

Expected behavior:
Game launches without crashing

Actual behavior:
Game crashes upon startup

Steps to Reproduce:
I think the description above describes this.

Hi.
I can confirm this issue in openSUSE Tumbleweed 20180117 with Minecraft 1.12.2 and openjdk version "1.8.0_151".
I'm using a xorg custom resolution (1600x900) instead my native resolution (1920x1080) and game crash on launch. If I change to native resolution game launches normally.
Thanks.

Is this still an issue in the latest 1.13 development snapshot?

Michael Wobst: I have the lastest updated Tumbleweed and I can say that it does indeed crash upon startup with 1.12.2 and  1.13 respectively.

Is this still an issue in Minecraft 1.13.1?
