I don't think this bug is specific to groups, unless there are different bugs with similar symptoms.
This seems to be preferences-dependent. I've attached my preferences.xml which causes this bug to trigger.
Steps to reproduce:
- Launch inkscape with the attached preferences.xml
- Create a rect
- Open XML editor and delete "id" attribute of the rect
- Manifestation 1:**Choose "select" tool, click away from rect and then
click rect again. Inkscape dies with "unhandled exception (type std::exception) in signal handler:\n what: basic_string::_S_construct null not valid" 5) Manifestation 2: Don't choose the select tool, just click the rect with the rect tool. Inkscape dies with "terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error' \n what(): basic_string::_S_construct null not valid"
Since AFAICT no report had been filed about this crash, I reported it now myself:
Bug #1257417 “trunk: Removing ID attribute from group (XML editor) causes crash (rev >= 10992)” https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1257417
@Bryan - please comment in the report if I ommitted important information, and please file one yourself if you think the one just reported is not about what you experience with your highly customized set of preferences.
