inkscape crashes when pasting image from clipboard on OSX

[KaOS-bEat]

Inkscape 0.91pre3 on osx crashes when pasting a raster image from the clipboard:

reproduce:
- copy image to clipboard e.g in chrome, rightclick, copy to clipboard
- ctrl-V in inkscape
- inkscape crashes (backup saved)

I used to do this daily in inkscape 0.48.5 no problem at all, and I just tested, it's still no problem... must be something 0.91 specific

Please add information about OS X version to the bug description.

1) Could you attach the crash report please? OS X creates crash reports automatically, you can find them in 'Home > Library > Logs > DiagnosticReports' (please choose the latest one for 'inkscape-bin' which was triggered by pasting an image from Chrome - the reports have date and time stamps in the file name).

2) It might also be helpful to see any related console messages output at the time the crash happens:
- browse to the installation folder of Inkscape 0.91pre3 (usually '/Applications')
- select the Inkscape icon, open the context menu and choose 'Show Package Contents'
- in the package contents, browse to 'Contents > MacOS' and double-click 'Inkscape' there
- this will open a non-interactive terminal window (apart from launching inkscape) where all console messages are output
Please save the console output as regular text file, and attach to this report.

3) Which settings do you use for the 'Pasteboard' in X11 Preferences?
(see screenshot at https://inkscape.org/en/download/mac-os/ for recommended settings)

4) Which locale (language) do you use Inkscape with?

Crash as described not reproduced on OS X 10.7.5 with
- Inkscape 0.91pre3 r13670
- XQuartz 2.7.7 (xorg-server 1.15.2) (Pasteboard settings as recommended)
- image: Inkscape logo (upper left corner) at https://www.inkscape.org
- browser: recent Chromium snapshot (42.0.2276.0 (64-bit))
- browser: Firefox 34.0.5

Forgot to ask - did you compile Inkscape 0.91pre3 from source, or installed the precompiled binary?

Some of the crash logs attached in bug #1398521 indicate it is related:

Does the crash affect different users on the same system too, and does it persist after a reboot?

Would you mind testing a recent trunk (0.91+devel) build on your system? Download links can be found at inkscape.org, or on my launchpad profile page:
https://inkscape.org/en/download/#download-devel
https://launchpad.net/~suv-lp

Please note: Inkscape 0.91+devel (current development branch) has internal changes (dpi 90 -> 96) which might affect the output size of Inkscape SVG files which had been created with Inkscape 0.48 or 0.91pre3 (this is work-in-progess, and will hopefully be handled transparently in future 0.92). For now I'd recommend to only use it for testing, but not in a production environment.

[su_v (suv-lp)]

If you don't mind further testing: new custom build of the latest stable release branch (0.91pre3 r13696) uploaded which includes a few additional debug messages to the console when trying to retrieve a bitmap file's own resolution on import (or paste):
"Inkscape-0.91pre3-r13696-1-x11-10.7-x86_64-custom.dmg"

I tried the Inkscape-0.91pre3-r13696-1-x11-10.7-x86_64-custom.dmg

this is the output, it does NOT crash. I can manipulate and scale etc...

this is the output:

Would you mind briefly testing another build (no special debug messages this time)?
"Inkscape-0.91pre3-r13706-1-x11-10.7-x86_64.dmg"
<https://www.dropbox.com/sh/magg5vw5j3y1y3u/AAD-l8JqwCyUNuoWYNRKufyHa?dl=0>

[KaOS-bEat (kasper-jordaens)]

yes, the result is a crash upon paste.

the output is
 /Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/MacOS/Inkscape ; exit;
Assertion failed: (this->is_initialized()), function get, file /Volumes/magenta/mp-trunk/x11/include/boost/optional/optional.hpp, line 992.

the log is attached. Kind regards

Similar bug for me with OSX 10.10.1 and Inkscape 0.91pre4 (source tarball)

Cut and paste results in:

"Inkscape encountered an internal error and will close now."

Just to be sure - you did compile Inkscape 0.91pre4 from source on Yosemite yourself? If so, any chance you could run it from the debugger (lldb) and provide a full backtrace (ideally, with a debug build)?

Please expand on this one: you did cut what where exactly? If this happens if you cut and paste a regular object in inkscape, did you change the X11 preferences as recommended (turning off the setting 'Pasteboard > [ ] Update Pasteboard when CLIPBOARD changes') or does the crash on cut&paste0 get triggered because the object cut to the clibopard is pasted as rasterized copy (bug #307005)?

Sorry I was not clear, I did *not* compile it myself. I just used the .dmg from:
https://inkscape.org/en/download/

> Please expand on this one: you did cut what where exactly?

Just a simple rectangle drawn in Inkscape. I also tried copying an svg from a webpage (an svg created with Inkscape), and pasting it in. Both crashed at the paste command.

I just turned this setting off and the crash no longer occurs. At least not with the rectangle drawn in Inkscape. Pasting an svg from a web page is not possible with this setting off. (I must have missed the recommendation for this setting.)

After turning that setting off, the objects cut and pasted in Inkscape are pasted as vectors. With the setting on they are pasted as rasterized images (in 0.48). So it's possible that this is also related to bug #307005

[Paul Morris (v-paul-p)]

What I meant is that this may still be related to how "the object cut to the clibopard is pasted as rasterized copy." In other words, the problem may still be with the rasterization, since the rasterization doesn't happen when this setting is off.

[su_v (suv-lp)]

Attaching diff used for custom build (see comment 6 and 7) for review/comments.

I'm planning to apply the same diff for the 0.91 release build - there will be unpatched packages available for testing (likely via DropBox).

[su_v (suv-lp)]

Inkscape 0.91 for OS X was shipped with the patch applied from comment 14 applied - did anyone still experience crashes on paste from clipboard or import of bitmap images with the stable release build?

[KaOS-bEat (kasper-jordaens)]

Works great for me! thanks!

>did anyone still experience crashes on paste from clipboard

Yes! Inkscape crashed pasting from clipboard.
Version: 0.91 stable
Machine: Windows 8.1, 64bit
Please solve this issue.

[su_v (suv-lp)]

@Thomas - this report is about crash specific to Mac OS X builds. Crashes on Windows need to be tracked separately (please check for existing reports before filing a new one).

[Qantas94Heavy (qantas94heavy)]

Given there have been no reports of issues since and someone has noted that it solved their issue, closing as fix released.

If this is still an issue with the latest Inkscape version, please file a new bug here: https://inkscape.org/report. Thank you!
