Package: inkscape
Version: 0.48.4-3+b2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have Debian Jessie installed on my laptop and inkscape 0.48.4-3 installed. When I open a document and work on it everything is fine, as long as I am not editing some text. When I add a text window and write and delete a bit, inkscape freezes. Is that an Inkscape problem or one of Debian?
