Hey guys,
I was doing a teaching session on Inkscape for the Ubuntu User Days a few days ago. As with almost every show-and-tell, something went wrong. This was Inkscape 0.47 for Ubuntu 10.10 and the document that I created from scratch caused inkscape to crash.
What's interesting is that the image was saved by the crash protection save feature. And although the image can be opened by gnome and seen in firefox, opening it in Inkscape 0.47 causes it to crash again.
I'd like to know if the crash still exists in Inkscape 0.48, which unfortunately isn't available for Ubuntu yet. If it still exists, I'll report a bug and we'll get it nailed.
If you're interested in what I did to cause the problem, it's all recorded in the live session: http://livestre.am/AWfN Crash is at about 00:37:10
Best Regards, Martin Owens
