I have used InkScape on Windows and Linux. Currently using it on Linux. Release InkScape 1.1.1 (3bf5ae0d25, 2021-09-20) since about 1.0 something the app has been getting more unstable especially when manipulating text. This has happened with the windows and Linux versions. I have seen you are seeking a programmer for mac. I have seen posts about the crashing problems with InkScape. There has to to be something in the raw source code that is going across all platform versions. Every time I have a crash on windows and Linux it is when I am manipulating text.
I will attempt to open InkScape from so the terminal so it will capture the sequence. I have attempted this before but got nothing. creating text is not a problem. attaching it to a path and then manipulating it with tweaks like dx, dy letter-spacing. Font resizing. Changing font style. editing the text content. moving it with x and why position even when not attached to a path. When exactly in all this it begins to be a problem I do not know. I know I save after every single manipulation I do because it will crash with no warning before it crashes. Everything will seem right and then crash. InkScape closes or Freezes and locks the entire operating system on Windows and Linux. I haven't used the Windows version since getting back on Linux. I have seen InkScape update at least 3 times on Linux in the last 2 to 4 months.
That does seem to be very similar. The one thing that they were focused on was just Windows versions. It happens in Windows and Linux. Almost exactly the same thing. I have several other tools open and not all the ones talked about in the link. It is far easier to just save often rather than open and close tools. The issue started with 1.1 and continues. So It may eventually get solved. I have a good method I am using. I am used to saving often. My years with the high end CAD systems used professionally I had to do that because those apps would crash all the time. The whole reason I even pointed it out was to bring it to the attention of whoever is developing the app. It does seem there are several with the issue.

What developers will be looking for is a step-by-step description of how to predictably generate a crash.
I'm trying to get a crash in Windows and Linux Mint by dragging and arrow-key translating (position transforms) text objects , but no crashes yet.

Are you running a development version on Linux?
No, that is the version number of the rpm in the distro. The distro is PCLinuxOS. not sure what source code number they are using.
Maybe related to this: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/2944. A workaround is mentioned. YMMV
