Bug#960036: inkscape takes 100% CPU when opening font combobox

>Could you please give me more details?

step for reproduce:

- start program

- open a blank document
- select tool "create and modify textual object"
- open combo for select the font (click on lateral arrow)

-> a black vertical rectangle appears under the combo box and the desktop freezes due to the high CPU effort

>What's the "previous version"? 1.0~rc1 or 0.92.4?

previous version was 0.92.4-5 (debian/sid)

>Also, since you managed to reproduce this with a plain upstream build,

I didn't send the bug to them, but I only reported this bug to Debian.

Could you please give me more details? Here I tried to:
* open a blank new file
* create a "text object" and typed in some random words
* selected the text
* tried to change the font using the menu that appears on the top left
side of the tool bar
and I'm not experiencing any issue.

What's the "previous version"? 1.0~rc1 or 0.92.4?
Also, since you managed to reproduce this with a plain upstream build,
did you also file this bug directly with them?
