Crash on Deleting Object
Summary:
Inkscape crashes when I open this file and try to delete the ellipse object.
Steps to reproduce:
- open the attached
crash_mwe.svg
file on macOS, using Inkscape 1.3 (0e150ed, 2023-07-21). NOTE: does NOT crash on Fedora Linux, Inkscape 1.3 (0e150ed6c4, 2023-07-21). - close the extra New Document window that opens
- select the ellipse object
- perform any one of these interactions on the object:
- try to delete it, using:
-
backspace
key -
delete
key -
Edit > Delete
menu option
-
- try to cut or copy it, using:
-
Cmd+X
orCmd+C
keystrokes - Cut or Copy buttons on toolbar
-
Edit > Cut
orEdit > Copy
menu option
-
When I encounter this situation, a workaround I have found is to delete the ellipse using the XML Editor window. For some reason this avoids the crash and gets Inkscape past whatever the issue is -- until the next time it happens.
[EDIT:] With this MWE, for some reason I am finding that step 2 above is important. (Not sure if it always is or not.)
What happened?
Inkscape instantly crashes. Sometimes it gives a backtrace like the attached, sometimes it just freezes and no backtrace can be recovered.
Sample attachments:
This backtrace was obtained by trying to delete the object using the backspace
key.
