      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:

      https://gist.github.com/dblitt99/953de58109472f2881ce801426a05978

      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.
