Bug#1034289: inkscape: canvas stops updating completely when trying to edit a text box
Followup-For: Bug #1034289
X-Debbugs-Cc: giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com, debian-multimedia@lists.debian.org
Control: reassign -1 libgtk-3-0
Control: affects -1 inkscape
Control: tags -1 patch
After testing the patch (that is based on a suggestion in an upstream GTK bug
discussion thread[1]), I can confirm that it resolves the canvas-refresh issue
reported in Inkscape (that depends on libgtk-3-0 for window rendering).
Based on that, I'm reassigning this bug to the package where the problem seems
to originate and be fixable.
Although this bug does seem RC-severity for Inkscape, it seems possible that
the severity should be reduced in the context of libgtk, since that is a
dependency of many other packages, few of which are likely to be affected (a
call to 'gdk_window_ensure_native' is required as a minimum for the problem to
occur, according to a repro test case[2]).
I'll provide related updates on the upstream discussion thread(s).
