It seems like the suggested patch fixes the symptom, not the underlying cause; I would have guessed that the "description" inx element would be the correct place to include desired whitespace.
While we have removed the empty parameters in the Eggbot and Hershey Text extensions that caused the crash, we were indeed using them to provide whitespace, so the "off-topic" question is relevant for finding a workaround. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1204732 Title: inkscape crashed with SIGABRT in __gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1204732/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
