inkscape crashes when resizing elements with snapping on

[Andrej Shadura]

I’ve repeatedly experienced crashes when trying to resize elements in a drawing while having certain snapping modes on. One of the most typical examples was trying to draw a strictly vertical line, holding Ctrl while dragging, getting a crash.

Andrej: why? That bug link to Debian was perfectly fine. It is synced up periodically by a cronjob that syncs the external bug trackers.

[Andrej Shadura (andrew.sh)]

@mapreri: Hmm, it didn’t seem like it worked, that’s why I changed it to manual. Changing it back now.

[Mattia Rizzolo (mapreri)]

Yes, It takes a while. Several hours usually.

This bug was fixed in the package inkscape - 0.92.3-4

---------------
inkscape (0.92.3-4) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
  * d/bash-completion: fix completion to use the runtime-evaluating _have()
    instead of the static check have(). LP: #1792835
  * Mark inkscape-tutorials as Multi-Arch:foreign (from the m-a hinter).
  * Bump Standards-Version to 4.2.1, no changes needed.
  * Add patch from upstream to make the command-line PDF output reproducible.
    Thanks to Chris Lamb <email address hidden> for the patch! Closes: #893314

I can't see this in Inkscape master. Does the fix still need to be pushed to Inkscape repo?

[bananenkasper (bananenkasper)]

Still an issue with 0.92.4.
