Crash not reproduced based on the provided steps (assuming "text zone" is referring to "Flowed text" - it remains unclear to me whether the reporter switched tools in-between or not, though either way the crash was not reproducible in my tests), with
- Inkscape 0.48.3.1, 0.48.4 and 0.48+devel r12388 on OS X 10.7.5 (tested with builds using either of the two available GTK+ backends on this platform, with various versions of the dependencies)
- Inkscape 0.48.4 on Ubuntu 13.04 (VM, 64bit)
- Inkscape 0.48.3.1 and 0.48+devel r12383 on Ubuntu 12.10 (VM, 64bit)
- Inkscape 0.48+devel r12388 (PPA) on Ubuntu 12.04 (VM, 64bit)
(all tests have been done with default (new) preferences for each launch)
