Bug Description
System info: Ubuntu 16.04, Inkscape 0.92
When the "Edit paths" tool (F2) is activated, you can drag both nodes and paths. So, with regular node editing, it often happens that when you try to drag a node, it is accidentally captured path near the node. At the same time, the contour is instantly becomes very stretched (a very long handle is formed), and immediately after that, the Inkscape crashes (in most cases, a backup file is created automatically, but not always). Inkscape behaves this way from the oldest versions to the latest. This is very annoying and interferes with the work, and in some cases the results of the work are lost. Is it possible to somehow prevent such crashes?
P.S.: By the way, I tried to achieve this result (crash by editing nodes) intentionally, but I did not succeed. It always happens by accident while trying to move nodes.

Probably the same issue as bug #1686132.
As is currently not reproducible (you noted that yourself), it's impossible to debug and therefore to fix, so if you should find steps to reproduce please let us know.
