This is an instruction. You can't give instructions to the inkscape project because the project has no employees.
So, who should fix this?
I know this must be frustrating, It's shameful to have this kind of problem. But the terrible truth is that we all have self responsibility to fix or hire someone who can fix the specific errors that we need fixing in a project that has no corporate backing. The project is at the mercy of fortune to try and tempt people to help fix problems.
Seriously, I have lost so much stuff because of this - it corrupts text areas and gradients and I am getting sick of it.
It sounds very serious.
For crying out loud, handling a null response is coding 101!
The best I can offer you in some mentoring if you'd like to tackle the problem. I know that's probably not what you want to hear, but it's what I got in the tank.
Let me know, we can work from chat.inkscape.org or big blue button.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
