Pattern Along Path causes Inkscape to hang

Steps to reproduce:

Setup (an attached file is provided where these steps have been performed)

  • Create a path
  • Copy it
  • Create a new path
  • Apply the "Pattern along path" effect to the second path
  • Use "link path in clipboard" to apply the first path as the pattern
  • Move the path with the effect somewhere else in the canvas

Bug:

  • Have the "select and transform objects" tool enabled (the one that is selected by F1)
  • Select the path with the effect (the orange one in the attached file)
  • Click on "edit on canvas" in the effect settings
    • This causes the path being used as a pattern to gain a blue outline
    • and a new green outline of that object appears with the same transformation as the path with the effect applied, this outline has editable nodes
  • Click on the object itself, the one with the blue outline (the object is black in the attached file)
  • Inkscape hangs

What happened?

  • Inkscape hangs, stops responding to any input

What should have happened?

  • nothing I suppose
