MATE marco core dumps when restoring minimized windows from panel

First post...
I''m running MATE desktop from official repo. I've been noticing screen flickers sometimes, when I restore minimized windows from mate-panel. Journalctl shows it's marco that crashes.

Jul 09 10:20:51 primer systemd-coredump[1706]: Process 1214 (marco) of user 1000 dumped core.

Running marco with debug option i get the following message

MARCO_DEBUG=1 marco --replace
Bug in window manager: Unexpected X error: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) serial 4697 error_code 2 request_code 1 minor_code 0)
Aborted (core dumped)

I get this error mostly running marco WITH compositing ON. I have tried running marco with compton but i get the same error and i also get it, but much less frequent, when NOT using compositing.

I tried to use gdb to see if the dump tells me something, but I have no experience in debugging... the output of gdb is
