is the only one experiencing this issue. Seems like a local issue with his
directory structure.

I can help clarify the situation a bit:

- In 2.14 a bug was introduced which automatically added user's home
folders to the svg paths. That's fixed now, but users may still have that
path included.

- there's a valid bug regarding endless loops with symlinks, that should be
fixed

- but mostly, I think the svg loading needs to be moved to a non blocking
background thread. So please keep the report open until this is addressed.
