Steps

1. Remove text from path.
2.Select text box, try and select everything by using mouse pointer, and the applicatin crashes with below error message.

- not reproduced on Windows 10, Inkscape 0.92.3 (2405546, 2018-03-11)
- not exactly sure what 'Remove text from path' means. I used the following steps:
- select the text 'Vegan'
- click on Text Tool F8
- use the mouse to select all the text
- hit Delete, text disappears, no crash.

is it possible that this is related to other text bugs that are specifically Fedora 28?

My thoughts too, we have a dozen bugs like this, with the same backtrace, only in fedora, when manipulating text in various ways.
They are not present when compiling Inkscape, so I guess they are related to the default compiler options fedora packagers use...

Closing because can't be replicated on Inkscape 1.0alpha.
I can remove the text from the path and select it without crash.
