Apologies if I overreacted in my earlier comment - attaching the backtrace from current stable branch (Inkscape 0.48.4 r9945):
Crash produced by these steps: 1) launch inkscape (default prefs, new default document) 2) click on the 'Ellipse' tool in the toolbox on the left 3) draw an ellipse (i.e. x- and y-radius differ) 4) press 'Shift+Ctrl' and click on the left square knot of the ellipse -> inkscape crashes, instead of resizing the ellipse to a circle (x- and y-radius equal) So far, I haven't been able to reproduce this with current trunk builds. ** Attachment added: "1152629-bt-full-048x-debug-osx-x11-64bit.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1152629/+attachment/3564039/+files/1152629-bt-full-048x-debug-osx-x11-64bit.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to inkscape in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1152629 Title: Logged out by creating and modifying a circle Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool: Invalid Status in “inkscape” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I am using Ubuntu 12.10 with Gnome Shell 3.6.2, and Inkscape Version 0.48.
