Crash fixes

Fixed a crash when …


Bug fixes

General

  • Fixed … (Bug #, MR #)
  • Improved a few user interface texts and added some missing icons back (Bugs #3355, #4193, #4316, MR #5393)
  • Ellipses no longer look cut off in certain cases at some zoom levels when moved close to the page's corner (Bug #4445)
  • The text boxes that indicate what an object will be snapping to no longer flicker with grids (Bug #4242, MR #5580)
  • Resizing handles have better visibility now if using a checkerboard background with a dark desk color (Bug #4513, MR #5637)
  • Resizing handles are now also visible in Outline Overlay view mode when the desk color is dark (Bug #4579, MR #5779)


Dialogs

General

  • When docking a dialog underneath another dialog, it no longer vanishes (Bug #4254, MR #5490)
  • The status bar no longer talks about nothing having been deleted when you paste an object with any tool other than the Selector tool or the Node tool (Bug #3031, MR #5524)
  • The toolbox's width now automatically adjusts when you change the size of its icons. When you change its width manually, it will now scale to fit the icons, in steps, so that no space is wasted (Bug #3334, MR #5545)

Export

  • 'Optimized PNG' can now be selected from the Export dialog and doesn't automatically switch back to normal PNG all the time (MR #5557)

Fill and Stroke

  • When closing one of multiple open documents with the Fill and Stroke dialog undocked (floating), Inkscape no longer crashes (Bug #4582, MR #5783)

Layers and Objects

  • Activating a layer in the dialog no longer leads to the layer being selected on-canvas as if it were a normal group, so you can activate a layer to draw in again directly. A second click is now needed to select the layer on-canvas (Bug #8423, MR #5394)
  • Layers no longer automatically expand to show their contents when they are selected (MR #5566)
  • A right-click on a layer opens its context menu and activates the layer, but it also no longer selects it like a group on-canvas (MR #5566)
  • To select multiple layers in the dialog, each layer must now be selected with either Shift + Click or Ctrl+Click (MR #5566)
  • The dialog's buttons for moving or deleting a layer or an object will now move and delete the right thing automatically, no matter the dialog's mode ('Layers only', or 'Layers and Objects') (Bug inbox#7792, MR #5394)
  • When a layer is deleted, the next layer becomes the active layer again (instead of the document root) (Bug #3839, MR #5394).
  • When setting a mask by using only the Layers and Objects dialog and a keyboard shortcut, Inkscape no longer crashes (MR #5532, Bug #4412)
  • The buttons for moving and deleting now feature tooltips (MR #5560)

Snap Panel

  • The advanced snap popover panel now correctly shows all disabled sub-items as disabled (Bug #3421, MR #5121)

Symbols

  • Files with broken symbols (where the symbol path does not contain any path data) no longer crash Inkscape when opening the Symbols dialog (Bug #4509, MR #5623)

Import / Export

  • Inkscape no longer crashes when importing a PDF file whose page names are encoded in UTF-16 (Bug #4442, MR #5589)
  • Inkscape no longer crashes or loses font information when importing a PDF file with fonts using uncommon names (MR #5676, Bugs #4504, #3919, #2601, #4540)
  • When importing a PDF file with text in different colors, Inkscape now more reliably assigns the correct color to the correct text (Bug #4545, MR #5707)
  • Inkscape also no longer crashes when a clone is in the selection that you want to export to PDF or SVG (Bug #4482, MR #5615)
  • Bleed is no longer ignored when exporting documents with just a single page to PDF (Bug #4487, MR #5620)
  • When saving a file containing a comment as Plain SVG, Inkscape no longer breaks it by inserting odd line feed characters (MR #5663, Bug #4526)

Node Tool

  • Path outlines respect the preferences setting for their color again while editing. The layer's color is only used for highlighting when hovering over the path. (MR #5729, Bug #4061)

Path Operations / Shape Builder

  • Using the "Division" path operation and the Shape Builder tool now results in a much more reasonable number of nodes (Bug #471, Bug #4494, MR #5962)
  • Converting a text object that uses different styling for different parts of the text now respects that styling again in all cases (Bug #4403, MR #5515)

Pages

  • When undoing the creation of a new page that follows a page with a custom label, Inkscape no longer crashes (Bug #4432, MR #5678)
  • When resizing a page to the selection in a document with a document scale other than 1:1, the grid origin is now moved to its correct position (MR #5642, Bug #4514)
  • When resizing a page to the selection when the y-axis is upside down as per the user preferences, the page now ends up in the correct position (Bug #4537, MR #5681)

Pencil Tool

  • When undoing a change while using pressure sensitivity (i.e. using the PowerStroke LPE), Inkscape no longer crashes or freezes (Bug #4485, MR #5763)

Selector Tool

  • Right-clicking on a selected object finally applies the right-click to that object again instead of the group it is in, a bug which had impacted workflows quite a bit since the release of Inkscape 1.2 (Bug #5620, MR #5626)

Text

  • Worked around a bug that happened with a certain, outdated Gtk setting, where trying to use the Text tool would freeze Inkscape ((Bug #3664, MR #5236))
  • When using a subtraction frame to adjust the shape of a flowed text, the hole this creates in the text now appears in the correct position (MR #5662, Bug #3910)
  • When converting a text with a gradient to a path, its gradient is no longer lost (Bug #4460, MR #5727)

Live Path Effects

  • Deleting a segment of a path using the Corners LPE no longer leads to a crash (Bug #4390, MR #5528)
  • The bounding box of an object with the Corners LPE is now calculated correctly (Bug #4341, MR #5547)
  • When copying or duplicating an object using the Taper Stroke LPE, Inkscape no longer crashes (MR #5641, MR #5703, Bugs #5641, #4462)
  • When clicking on some LPE's handles while holding Ctrl and Alt, Inkscape no longer crashes (Bug #457, MR #5713)
  • When choosing to cancel adding the 'Show Handles' LPE to a path, because that would lose all styling of the path, Inkscape no longer crashes (Bug #4554, MR #5729)

Extensions

  • Extensions that need to call Inkscape to do their job no longer fail, freeze or crash Inkscape (MR #5664, Bug #8927)
  • Deactivating the Live Preview for an extension no longer crashes Inkscape in files with complex Live Path Effects (MR #5672, Bug #4470)
  • Toggling the live preview of extensions quickly no longer leads to data loss (Bug #4385, MR #5686)

Command Line

Linux-specific fixes

Windows-specific Fixes

  • Using the 7zip package of Inkscape no longer requires users to call 'inkscapecom' to access Inkscape on the command line (Bug inbox#8893, MR #5574)

macOS-specific Fixes

  • Trying to dock a dialog underneath another dialog now no longer has a 100% crash rate. A few crashes may still occur, but it is fixed for the majority of cases (Bug #4111, MR #5489).
  • We've tried to fix the 'tofu' (user interface text showing up as little rectangles instead of letters) that under some rare conditions showed up on macOS when the user interface font could not be found (MR #5625, Bug #3532)

Improvements for development / deployment
