Inkscape crashes when passing a NULL parameter to gettext. The check just make sure the value is not NULL and if it fails, doesn't create the description widget. I don't know if gettext should check, but it doesn't hurt to check in Inkscape directly.
~suv>The rendered result of the INX file with patched builds differs depending on this yet unknown difference: description parameters with a space or newline as content are now omitted too with those patched builds which otherwise crash On Windows, only the real NULL description failed. Newlines and fake spaces don't crash the application and the values are rendered as expected (as newlines and spaces). Yes, there must be something wrong with the most recent gettext version. -- 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/1204732 Title: inkscape crashed with SIGABRT in __gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler() Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool: In Progress Status in “inkscape” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I am trying to run an eggbot from inkscape.
