Bug when editing text

[Bug Importer]

When tryng to change the text in an already entered
line, when clicking 'apply' the wole line of text
collapses to a small square that can't be resized.
Clicking on this box makes it disappear and be replaced
by a very long vertical dotted line. Only happens on a
few documents. The attached example has just the
central protion as real text, the bottom rh corner is
text converted to paths.

Works for me. Please be more precise: what exactly you are
doing and how, step by step, and in which Inkscape version.

[Bug Importer (bug-importer)]

With the example attached, select the text in the centre,
then open the editing window and add the word 'again'. Click
on 'Apply'. The whole line of text disappears. Not *all*
documents do this, I don't know what is special about this
one, that is why I attached it. For some reason, the editing
window also seems to be slow to open.

I'm using v 0.42.2 on Mdk 10.1

Indeed, this is a bug in 0.42, but it works fine in latest
CVS. So I assume this got fixed since then.
