Comment 25 for bug 1257413

Encountering a similar glitch with Inkscape 0.92.3 (2405546, 2018-03-11) on PureOS (Based on Debian buster/sid). This only started happening recently, perhaps related to using a secondary monitor or external apple extended keyboard.

I haven't been able to pin the crash down to a specific, reproducible cause, but the SVG contained a lot of text fields. In addition to outright crashes, I also observed a second failure mode where Inkscape would stop responding to keyboard input. It didn't crash: mouse interactions still work, but once this happens I'm no longer able to enter text or use key commands (e.g., ctrl-s, ctrl-q) in Inkscape (other applications are unaffected).
