Drawing area hangs when the font tool is selected, but everything else is fine.
Summary:
The moment I select the text tool, the drawing area freezes. It no longer updates, and any windows that cover it are left as afterimages, indicating a completely frozen application. But no, the rest of Inkscape is fine. The menus, the toolbars, they're all working perfectly. I can even interact with the drawing window, and see in the status bar whether I'm clicking on a rectangle or an ellipse, and manipulate their size and shape just fine. It just won't refresh the drawing area anymore.
It only happens specifically with the text tool, and it's been happening for quite a few months now. I tried getting rid of user fonts, and deleting all my Inkscape configuration, but there's still something wonky going on in there.
Steps to reproduce:
- open inkscape
- select the text tool
(note: selecting it causes the bug, no text needs to be actually added to the drawing area.)
What happened?
The drawing window is frozen and all further attempts to draw on it work fine but are completely invisible.
What should have happened?
Not that.
