Since upgrading to 1.2.1, one of my projects almost constantly crashes on basic things.
Actions that have caused crashes:
Delete layer
Resize document to selection
Moving objects
Moving layers in draw order
Even opening one version of the project caused the program to crash immediately after opening.
I've tried importing the file into a new SVG, but Inkscape crashed with no report.
The file is only 161kb and has a clip/mask on one layer. Otherwise, no filters or other effects applied to any layer. This project was created in 1.2.1, whereas older projects seem more stable.
I am experiencing similar issues. Files that I created a few months ago with 1.2 and are only 1MB or so, it takes forever to do simple tasks such as adding a text box, repositioning a node, zooming in/out. Watching the system specs using bashtop, it sometimes uses nearly 100% of one of my CPU cores (I have 4) and other times it has two cores up above 70%. I also don't get crash reports when it freezes and I'm forced to shut down so I can't really provide a reproducible example.
I have reverted back to 1.2 using the AppImage and that is working well.
I may have found a workaround. I saved the file as Plain SVG, then resaved as Inkscape SVG. So far it seems more stable. I did lose my layer names, but more of a temporary inconvenience.
This problem still exists with 1.2.1 on Ubuntu 20.04. Even .svg files of only a couple MB are laggy and slow and some of my files that are 10MB+ are nearly unusable. These same files open with no issues in 1.2 and never cause the program to crash. I understand that this is not the proper way to report a bug but I just don't have a way of reproducing an example and the problem does not generate a crash report. It seems something is eating up and holding the memory.
