Arch Linux Inkscape Crash on starting New Document

Summary:

Arch Linux: Inkscape crashing when loading any file or starting a new document

Steps to reproduce:

• open Inkscape
• It loads onto the starter menu with quick setup, supported by you, time to draw.
• Click "Time to Draw"
• Then either clicking "new document" or "Open" will immediately crash the program

In the last few days I have: I have installed a new font into /usr/local/share/fonts/ttf and run fc-cache etc. following https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fonts The inkscape which was open at the time worked still, but since will not open as described above.

I have yay -Rns inkscape Then yay -S inkscape to complete reinstall the program

This did not resolve so I also removed files: yay -Rns inkscape rm -rf ~/.config/inkscape yay -S inkscape

Still does not work.

I am new to arch, so please advise me if you need further information, I will try and provide it.

The most recent errors are:

Command line:

/usr/include/c++/14.2.1/bits/stl_vector.h:1130: constexpr std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::reference std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::operator [with _Tp = std::__cxx11::basic_string; _Alloc = std::allocator<std::__cxx11::basic_string >; reference = std::__cxx11::basic_string&; size_type = long unsigned int]: Assertion '__n < this->size()' failed.

Emergency save activated! Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now. If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at https://inkscape.org/report with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it. [1] 5107 IOT instruction (core dumped) inkscape
