Comment 22 for bug 1219794

I have no idea if this feedback is valuable, but I can confirm this same bug, using Inkscape 0.91 (binary installed) on Ubuntu 14.04. The machine is pretty powerful, a Xeon E5-1650-v3 hexacore 3.5 GHz with 64GB of DDR4 memory. I am considering switching to the source version and compiling myself, to see if the patch provided in this thread helps me. I'm designing a scientific poster, which contains lots of complex vector graphics and to which I need to add a fair amount of text, this bug is making this very hard to do.

If there is anything I can do to help, let me know!
