    After upgrading to the 1.2.2 version I can not draw anything, and Inkscape seems unresponsive. I can not draw even rectangles or circles as well as can not write texts.

    Please go Inkscape Preferences->System hit "Reset Preferences" and restart Inkscape. Fingers crossed.

    Issues persist. I started inkscape in terminal and caught this error message:
    Bail out! Gtk:ERROR:../../../../gtk/gtkiconhelper.c:494:ensure_surface_for_gicon: assertion failed (error == NULL): Failed to load /snap/inkscape/10536/data-dir/icons/Adwaita/16x16/status/image-missing.png: Unrecognized image file format (gdk-pixbuf-error-quark, 3)

    How should I proceed?

    1. Describe your OS (your computer's Operating System: Mac/Windows/Linux/etc. & version).
    2. Describe the version of Inkscape and the installer you used (the file you downloaded from the website: .msi/.exe/.zip/other )

    I know there have been issues with both install methods, so you may want to file a report.

    Here are some existing issues that may be related: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/?sort=closed_at_desc&state=all&search=fedora&label_name%5B%5D=crash&first_page_size=27

    I think the trouble got solved. I have changed the graphics platform from X11 to Wayland, now everything runs smoothly
    Thank you, Tyler for your kind attention.
