Hi to all. Im currently improving the Gimp plugin "Export as SVG" to export layers as text. Attached are two files, one whith a Generated SVG output and the other a log whith a crash when try to select the red string text whith the text tool. Also is more than a crash, because freeze my sistem -debian stable- and force me logout.
The SVG file opens with these (expected) warnings on the console ('sodipodi' namespace is not declared, but should be):
texttest_xcf.svg:8: namespace error : Namespace prefix sodipodi for role on tspan is not defined an id="2450" sodipodi:role="line" style="letter-spacing:0.0;line-height:79.0px;" ^ texttest_xcf.svg:9: namespace error : Namespace prefix sodipodi for role on tspan is not defined n id="2452" sodipodi:role="line" style="letter-spacing:0.0;line-height:177.0px;" ^ texttest_xcf.svg:14: namespace error : Namespace prefix sodipodi for role on tspan is not defined n id="2458" sodipodi:role="line" style="letter-spacing:0.0;line-height:196.0px;" ^ texttest_xcf.svg:24: namespace error : Namespace prefix sodipodi for role on tspan is not defined n id="2472" sodipodi:role="line" style="letter-spacing:0.0;line-height:196.0px;" ^
and recent Inkscape trunk (e.g. r14353) neither hangs nor crashes (tested on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and OS X 10.7.5) when highlighting the word "aqui" (the tspan styled with the red fill color) with the text tool. I don't have the font 'Red October' installed locally, though, on either of the tested systems.
The crash / freeze / hang you describe to me seems similar to reports in the bug tracker which likely are related to Gtk+ input methods (so far they occurred on certain distros mostly, possibly with mis- or differently configured or only partially installed input method(s)).
