Bug Description

Opening the attached file slow-inkscape with Inkscape 0.47 r22583 as well as Inkscape 0.48.1 r9760 (Jun 21 2011) built from source on Ubuntu 10.04 takes so long that I couldn't wait for it to finish. File fast-inkscape.svg loads just fine. The program to generate both files is also included.

Greetings,
Dieter

File 'test2.svg' opens without noticeable delay, as fast as 'fast-inkscape.svg'.

Could you give a hint what "so long" could be (secs, minutes)?

Sorry, the first file got somehow mixed up, appended you find the correct one that breaks Inkscape on my machine.

@~suv,
I'd say that Inkscape actually hangs, because by now it has taken well over an hour without finishing yet.

'slow-inkscape.svg' opens and renders fine after deleting the <defs> section at the bottom which includes the SVG font definition (inkscape does not yet support embedded SVG fonts for rendering text on-canvas, though it should not prevent files from loading)
