I forgot, this is what I get when running from the terminal right after following these steps:

Thanks for the report.

Could you provide a backtrace of the crash, please? Follow the steps here to obtain one:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash

[Luis Santander (yetzero)]

I haven't been able to make that backtrace yet (unsolved dependencies for the debugger), but I've been narrowing the possibilities. Now I'm certain that the crash occurs when I try to switch to the Stroke Style tab while I have an object without stroke. Sounds pretty obvious, but one would expect to have the tab just disabled, not crashing the program. So, for clarity, the steps are:

1. Launch Inkscape
2. Draw any figure
3. In the Stroke tab, change it to nothing
4. Attempt to change to Stroke Style tab
5. Crash!

Hope that helps. I'll be trying to get that backtrace again.

[sam tygier (samtygier)]

i think i have seen this too.
try starting with clean preferences, run
mv ~/.inkscape ~/.inscape.old
then staert inscape.

can you still reproduce it?

at the moment i see bad corruption of the stroke style tab, when the stroke paint is set to 'x' or '?'

i'll atatch a screenshot

[sam tygier (samtygier)]

stroke style coruption

[Luis Santander (yetzero)]

Yeah, I reproduced that. When I cleaned .inkscape the screen was corrupted. Then I closed inkscape, started it again and tried the same, and it crashed again.

Backtrace of crash following instructions given by Luis

[Jonathan Austin (mailforwho)]

Still happening for me! At least I'm learning to save regularly (though not fast enough! :)

using 0.43-4ubuntu3

Clean .inkscape and it sill crashes if I use above steps - I don't ever see the distortion though

[sam tygier (samtygier)]

this seems to be fixed in 0.44 (inkscape-0.43+0.44pre2) built from source.

maybe this could be backported once it enters edgy.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Confirmed as working correctly in upstream Inkscape 0.44 and later. When switching to the stroke style dialog with objects that have no stroke paint, the stroke style dialog is greyed out.

Btw, the dashes dropdown loads its images via libart, so it's possible that the source of the issue could lay there.
