Inkscape crashes when moving cursor down in text or when clicking on right half of last character

[db8200]

Inkscape 0.92.3 (2405546, 2018-03-11) on Fedora 28, in french

Steps to reproduce:
- create a text (flowed text or normal text, both are affected)
- fill it with a few lines, with last line not full
- place the cursor in the text, over the empty part of the last line
- press ArrowDown => Inkscape crashes

The same problem appears when selecting text with Maj+ArrowDown, when the cursor goes to the empty part of the last line.

A similar problem appears when clicking to place the cursor at the end of the text:
if the text ends, say, with 'm' (a character sufficiently wide):
- if you click on the left half of the 'm', you get the cursor on the left side of 'm'
- if you click on the right half of the 'm', you get the cursor on the right side of 'm'... with a crash.

I also have this problem on Fedora 29 with Inkscape: 0.92.3 (2405546, 2018-03-11)

I would add that moving the cursor down into the any other character position on the last line does not cause the crash; only moving down into the position after the last character on the last line.

This is similar to: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1575842 but take note of reply #21 by Euan De Kock: It appears they fixed the original problem but after that a user is now experiencing the same as reported here. Sadly they have closed that bug "Errata" yet the problem still exists on F29.

Big thanks to the team for a great piece of software, happy to dig in if you need any further info.

I can confirm that this bug is no longer present for me on F29 after upgrading Inkscape to version 0.92.4
Thanks

For me too, it is no longer present on F29 with Inkscape 0.92.4.

Hi, this was fixed in Fedora but not in Inkscape upstream, those fixes will be released with Inkscape 0.92.5.
