Crash when modifying pasted text in a text box

[yagodlt]

Hi all,

First of, this is my first Inkscape bug report. Thank you guys so much for developing such an amazing piece of kit. I swear by it and do all my vector work with it (and I also have Illustrator... :o)

This bug crashes Inkscape whenever I try to modify text previously pasted into a text box.

Steps to reproduce it:
* Copy some text from anywhere
* Open Inkscape
* Create a text box -- F8 or 't' + click&drag -- I suggest you make it big enough to see the end of the text you are about to paste in
* Paste in the text you copied -- Ctrl + v
* Try to write something else

If this doesn't crash it, try getting out of the text tool -- i.e. press Esc --, then select the the text tool again -- F8 or 't' -- and click back on the text to re-activate the text box. Now try adding anything to it.

This bug also affects text boxes with a mix of written and pasted text.

This bug does NOT affect text boxes with no pasted text.

OS: Linux Mint 13 64bit/Gnome shell
Inkscape version: 0.48+devel+1250

I have noticed this crashing in the text tool too. When pasting in a letter from CharMap, the cursor moves to between the previous letters, moving to the end of the text and pressing backspace causes this error:

I've had crashes just from pasting, usually at the end. Typing in letters, etc.

Probably a duplicate of bug #1221025 “Inkscape crashes when import text from buffer via Ctrl+V” (the earlier report however lacks any details wrt to how to reproduce).

Probably due to the same regression as triaged in more recent report by jagolf:
