Open file dialog freezes after disabling preview
Summary:
When I open the window to open a new large file, I disable the checkbox "Enable preview" to save myself a few seconds because for large files it takes that much to show the preview. After disabling it, I can't select anything because if I do the whole program freezes and CPU thread is running at 100%.
Steps to reproduce:
- open Inkscape
- click File tab in the Menu bar
- click "Open..."
- go to a folder with few SVG (.svg) files (maybe larger files are necessary, about 10MB in my case)
- disable the checkbox "Enable preview" (I am using xfce-4 if that's important)
- select another .svg file
What happened?
At this point, after selecting another file, the whole program freezes and I have to terminate it. The program utilizes a virtual CPU core at full capacity (8% of the CPU in my case since I have 6 cores and 12 threaded CPU).
What should have happened?
Simply another SVG file getting selected so I can open it.
This is the file I tried to select (it's a math lecture):
