digikam 0.9.6 image editor crashes when selecting area

Dear Trinity developers: I use openSUSE 13.2 and Trinty TDE R14.0.4 64 bit. Digikam version is trinity-digikam-0.9.6-14.0.4_1.oss132.x86_64. Digikam crashes when in image editor I right click the images or try to select area. It does not occur with all images, only if the resolutions or file size is over a limit, though I don't know the limit. It occurs with jpg file 3264x2448 resolution ~1.8 MB, but it doesn't occur if I downsize this image to 1500x1125 ~500 KB. I found that a similar (same?) problem was reported in 2015: Digikam 0.9.6 selection problem http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::9315 I would appreciate any help with fixing this problem. Thanks, Istvan
