Crash after repeated copy / new / paste

[Dave Pawson]

Created single A4 page. Drew 32 glyphs. For each, select, copy, C-n, C-v to paste to new document, resize to size of glyph, save as.
I'd done this perhaps ten times when it bombed.
msg was

[dpawson@dpawson svg]$
** (inkscape:7924): WARNING **: Failed to create path: invalid data in dc->cal1 or dc->cal2

[1]+ Segmentation fault (core dumped) inkscape (wd: /apps/Dropbox/books/cappelli/photos)
(wd now: /apps/Dropbox/books/cappelli/svg)

Unlikely I could duplicate.
I could probably find the core dump if of use? Linux / Fedora 21, 64 bit

Is this meant to imply that you use Inkscape 0.91? Please always include information about Inkscape version in the bug description, along with the platform used.

If the bug does not reproduce anymore, could you attach the original SVG file and the emergency saved ones, to allow further inspection?

Please attach whatever could be helpful for further investigation …

inkscape installed this morning, vsn 0.91

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces#core It seems that Fedora blocks core dumps by default! Not helpful.

further session, same sequence. When I'd finished inkscape finished with a red pop up, then terminated.

I'll do some more tomorrow, and set core dumps on, see if it repeats. Sorry not to be more helpful
