The problem is that when text is copied the clipboard is cleared, but clipboard->set_text is not called to replace it if the selected text is empty. This results in the clipboard being NULL.
in ClipboardManagerImpl::copy tools_isactive(desktop, TOOLS_TEXT) // is TRUE _discardInternalClipboard(); // _clipboardSPDoc = NULL _clipboard->set_text(selected_text); // only called when selected_text != "" _onGet // assert _clipboardSPDoc != NULL fail Fix attached. ** Patch added: "inkscape-clipboard-fix.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/+bug/496793/+attachment/2604325/+files/inkscape-clipboard-fix.patch ** Tags added: patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/496793 Title: ctrl c ctrl v of text in edit mode crashes inkscape To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/496793/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
