Bug Description

This one is a doozy. Easily reproducible bug.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a new document in Inkscape.
2. Create a 3D box by clicking on the 3D Box tool, and then clicking and dragging onto the document.
3. Click down and drag the 3D Box perspective point (X-looking handle) in a direction of your choosing.

Note: The direction in which the handle is dragged usually doesn't matter. Whether or not the crash behaviour occurs when dragging in a particular direction, depends upon how the box was created in the first place. If a 3D box was created with three faces, the problem is less likely to occur than a box created with just two faces.

What happens?
Inkscape produces an error message:
"Inscape encountered an internal error and will now close. Automatic backups of unsaved documents were done to the following locations:"

What should happen?
Inkscape should draw a third face when the perspective needs it, and not crash when a face needs to be hidden/removed.

Inkscape version:
Inkscape 0.92.3 (2405546, 2018-03-11)

Operating System:
Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

Closing because 3D boxes can be created and moved in any direction using the "perspective point".
Can't reproduce this on Inkscape 1.0alpha on Ubuntu.

Tested and confirmed working in Inkscape 0.92.4. It may well have been fixed without comment.

I am having this issue with 0.92.4 as well on Linux -- the perspective point has to be "locked" onto a second perspective point for me to trigger the crash.
