Issue created Jun 19, 2021 by Diggory Blake@Diggsey1

Memory growth (then crash on Windows) if grid used and Document properties open

Summary:

I used to use Inkscape around v0.9x and had no problems with it. I just installed the latest version (v1.1) and was extremely disappointed to find it unusable.

It's both extremely laggy, and crashes every few minutes. It's difficult to give a specific reproduction since it just crashes constantly. Sometimes it hangs. Sometimes it just terminates.

Steps to replicate

  1. Start Inkscape
  2. Create a grid (#)
  3. Open Document Properties
  4. Create a rectangle and drag it around

What happened?

  • Fast memory growth (10MB/second)
  • lag (reported in #2107 (closed))
  • on Windows, at 700 MB, Inkscape crashes, with this backtrace inkscape_backtrace.txt
  • Some investigation: #2585 (comment 611929914)

What should have happened?

  • No crash, no memory growth, no lag

Version Info

Inkscape 1.1 (c68e22c3, 2021-05-23) Windows 10
