Re: [Inkscape-user] repeated crashes on gradient mesh

21 Feb 2017

      Hi brynn,
I've created a very simple test file that demonstrates the crash. The
crash is triggered when there are two objects referencing the same mesh
(you have a copy of the path with the same mesh in a hidden layer). It
will take some time to properly debug this so a bug report would be
good.

Update - trying to drag ANY mesh node causes the crash.

Subject: [Inkscape-user] repeated crashes on gradient mesh
Hi Friends,
        I'm working on a fairly small, fairly simple file with a
fairly simple
gradient mesh.  It's a somewhat high zoom, and maybe I should scale
it so I can
work at 100%.  But I'm not sure if that should matter.  Anyway, it
keeps
crashing (taking out all open Inkscape files with it) when I try to
move one
particular node.  8 times in a row now.
https://inkscapecommunity.com/jd/2nd-av-ani.svg
I'm attempting to use the gradient mesh to ultimately make an
animation
of a light passing through an endless knot (see it in the hidden
first layer).
        On the canvas, I've indicated 2 places where I have 3 mesh
nodes on top
of each other (to facilitate the light going around the corners with
a trailing
glow).  It's the top node of the left-most stack of nodes.
        Steps to reproduce.  Try to drag the top node of the left-
most stack of
nodes.  Since the 3 nodes are stacked up, I need to move the top 2
off of the
3rd, to be able to select it individually.  Whenever I try to drag
the top one -
BAM!  Crash.
        There are no errors or message boxes.  Just bam.  (A backup
was saved in
the first crash.)
        Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit, Inkscape 0.92.  If you want me to
upgrade to
0.92.1, I can.  It's just I'm not aware the mesh was changed in the
upgrade (so
it seems like it wouldn't matter).
        Any kind of logs or files I can get for you?  I don't know
how to use
the command line or terminal.  But if you tell me what to do, I
should be able
to do it.
        Would you like a bug report?
Thank you very much,
brynn
