Crash when picking file with missing linked image

Summary:

When selecting a document in the Open dialog, if the document contains a link to an image which is missing, Inkscape often crashes.

Steps to reproduce:

  • place the two attached SVGs in a folder
  • open Inkscape
  • select File > Open
  • navigate to the folder with the two SVGs
  • click one of the SVGs (do not open it)
  • click the other SVG
  • alternate clicking back and forth between the two

What happened?

After a few clicks, Inkscape will crash.
