Bug Description
When I try to change the text of one .svg file, as I type Inkscape becomes slower and slower, and finally crashes with this terminal output:
The program 'inkscape' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'.
(Details: serial 501741 error_code 16 request_code 18 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
No noticable CPU and memory usage change when this behavior appears.
The attachment includes the file I have half-changed. I was traslating the Chinese sentenses into English, and then the behaviour always appears.
I am using:
Funtoo current amd64
Inkscape 0.48.4 r9939 (Nov 22 2013)
