    Hi everyone, as people have probably noticed 1.3 tends to crash a lot. Frustratingly these crashes are often difficult to reproduce, even re-opening the document saved during the crash. I was hoping by writing on the forum, others who believe they noticed the same crash will contribute what they did before, and we'll end up with steps to reproduce that can be filed as a bug report.

    In my case, it was:

    1. New document
    2. Add 7 pages, snapping them corner-to-corner in one row
    3. View > Orientation > Rotate Clockwise
    4. (Play around with mouse buttons, Ctrl and Shift keys, trying to remember the short cut for rotating the canvas)
    5. View > Orientation > Reset Rotation
    6. View > Orientation > uncheck "Lock Rotation"
    7. Switch from page tool to select tool, play around more
    8. Switch to Zoom tool, at which point Inkscape crashed.

    Not reproduced in Linux Mint 21, in this fashion. 

    I have seen crashes in Mint and Windows, but cannot reliably reproduce for a report.
