Select Tool Freezes randomly

[Brenda Collins]

I have been working on files with a lot of clones and a few layers but nothing very complex. I just updated from V .48 to .92 and find that the selection tool have been freezing almost very 10 min for an unidentified reason. The handles disappear and a (random) item is surrounded by a blue line but can not be selected. The screen freezes and I have to select another tool (any tool) and then re-select the selection tool to get it to work again. Since I use select so much it has been very annoying.

Hi,
Is it https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1663952 or https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1657874 ?

Neither - I see it when using space > pan, ctrl > change size and general selecting inside of a group although cannot identify the exact sequence. Can not get back to the selection tool unless I select another tool and then select selection tool again and only then will it work.

While frozen an object (usually text?) has a solid blue line around it. But can't even use the text tool either. Everything freezes in IS but I can exit IS and work outside of it.

Last night my entire computer froze and even ctrl-alt-delete would not bring up task manager but that is for another bug!

PS - I'd go back to V .48 but I do really like some of the enhancements in .92 so thanks so all your work! :)
