inkscape crashes, often locking up the entire desktop

[Robert]

Binary package hint: inkscape

When using Inkscape, it crashes, often locking up the entire desktop. I have not figured out a particular action that causes the crash, or even how long Inkscape must be used before it crashes. Often the crash is so severe that I must ssh to my computer from another machine and run "killall inkscape".

Hi Robert,

Please could you install debugging symbols and run Inkscape under gdb as described at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace

If/when you manage to trigger a crash, please could you upload a backtrace? Without it, there's not much that the developers can do to fix the bug yet.

Hi Robert, do you still have the issue with a recent Inkscape version? And if so, could you have a look at comment 2?

Closing report by lack of feedback.
If the issue reappears, feel free to reopen this report.
