Hi list,
I'm having a serious issue with inkscape on FreeBSD -current. I'm using the port available for FreeBSD and even a forced reinstall of it doesn't fix the problem. The maintainer of the port suggested to report the problem through this list.
The issue is quite simple to express: adding a layer to any opened file freezes inkscape. I can open any svg file without a trouble, and a file can contain layers, they are perfectly displayed. I can also hide any of the layers of a document, or rename a layer, change the order of layers, without problem. Only creating a new layer (or duplicating the current layer) is impossible, and leads to a freeze.
Tracing the process (using truss on FreeBSD) doesn't show anything once the process is frozen. If there is anything else I could do please let me know.
Does such an issue speak to anyone here? Merry Christmas all gb
