Please let me know if I’m posting to the wrong thread, as I am new to actually posting here.

Logs attached are for today, the day when I installed the update.

Some of these logs are likely from from me going back and forth from 5.2, and the portable version of 5.3 to check settings and “feel” I do not know which ones, apologies.

The new update (5.3.0) has brought some with earnest, seriously incredible changes. The new text tool (even for the little things that get me) is incredibly robust, no longer will I have to copy-paste things from Inkscape into Krita, not only that, the new comic panel tool is just, awesome. If that was the only thing with this update I’d be happy. But the new text tool is awesome to boot. I love being able to do all of this stuff in my favorite little art program.

However, I’ve noticed it crashes significantly more than normal. The one I was able to replicate was going into the SVG Editor with the new text program and editing things. I assume that’s an SVG error but I figured it was worth noting.

Other crashes seemed to happen at random, using the text tool, or while the program is open. I cannot gather if those are from running out of RAM or if it’s related to out of date plugins, which I’ve read elsewhere could potentially cause problems, although I haven’t to my knowledge used any…?

Thanks!

The crashes seem to happen in the KisInputManager::toolProxy+0x3, but the only thing I can see that is related there might be touch events, please report a bug to bugs.kde.org under the product krita, and then more devs can look at it.

There are several crashes in the log, actually. The first one is in KisInputManager::toolProxy, it’s the same as the second one here: Krita just wont open! - #6 by goblinrot

The second one is KoShape::~KoShape, I think it’s a crash on exit related to the Comic Panel Editing tool.

But the others are related to text:

The third is an assert in KoSvgTextShape::Private::createTextNodeIndex.
SvgTextOnPathDecorationHelper::paint -> KoSvgTextShape::topLevelNodeForPos -> KoSvgTextShape::Private::createTextNodeIndex -> kis_assert_exception
The fifth (and seventh) are similar, except they just crash in topLevelNodeForPos instead.

The fourth (and sixth) is an assert in KoSvgTextShape::textType.
SvgTextCursor::notifyShapeChanged -> SvgTextCursor::updateCursor -> SvgTextCursor::updateTypeSettingDecoration -> SvgTextCursor::updateTypeSettingDecoFromShape -> KoSvgTextShape::textType -> kis_assert_exception
