Keyboard freeze after text resize

[Ryan Helminen]

This bug can be seen in 0.48.2 (r9819) on Fedora 17.

After I change the size of text or font type the keyboard commands completely quit working. Inkscape quits responding to any type of keyboard input. Even if I try to start using a different tool, keyboard functionality remains frozen. To get Inkscape to start responding to keyboard input all I need to do is open up a drop-down menu at the top of the screen and close it again. Once I do that everything returns to normal.

Not reproduced on Windows XP, Inkscape trunk revision 11917.

Not reproduced on trunk r12184, and also not on 0.48.x r9654 on vista 64 bit.
Any special steps before using text tool or changing font size? Does it happen with a specific file (if so, could you attach it) or with all files?

Has likely duplicate:
Bug #1087420 “Text tool doesn't work after selecting a font”

1) In an Inkscapeforum topic last year (<http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=12468> - which is likely describing the same issue, also on Fedora 17), the user reported back that the issue seemed to be triggered (or aggravated) by KDE's gtk theme engine (oxygen-gtk).
@Ryan Helminen - can you confirm that you use KDE as desktop on Fedora 17?

2) Or possibly the described problem is related to upstream bug <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680346> (fixed in gtk2 2.24.12) - Fedora 17 pushed a related gtk2 update (from 2.24.11 to 2.24.13) on 2012-10-22 [1] - this report however had been filed on 2012-10-05)
@Ryan Helminen - does this still happen with a fully up-to-date Fedora 17?

I use Inkscape 0.48.5 on Untunt 14.04 ( http://ppa.launchpad.net/pool/main/i/inkscape/inkscape_0.48.5+32~ubuntu14.04.1_amd64) and have the same problem!!!

Procedure:
Newly opend inkscape in a new drawing:

Choose Text tool; insert text "Test" anywhere in the drawing; Duplicate, move, resize and change the text (including the size and the type of the font) several times (10-20x);

I tried to give a example with only a few steps but I could exatly say whats triggering the problem. Sometimes Inkscape doe not accept any keyboard entry any more and sometimes it completely stops working and crashes.

Its annoying because I work a lot with text as caption for techical drawings.

Does this still reproduce with latest Inkscape 0.91 on current Fedora?

Which desktop do you use? Could this be related to the configuration of Gtk+ input modules?

Closing because I cannot reproduce this issue with Inkscape 0.92.4 and this bug has not received a response for several years. If you still have a similar issue, file a new bug report here: https://inkscape.org/report. Thank you!
