[Qgis-user] Debian users: please confirm bug around SVG symbol previews

[Kory Roberts]

I have run into this bug on Linux Mint.

My home folder was in the svg paths, but I did not add it myself. 
Perhaps this was introduced with the 2.14 bug as mentioned? I also have 
a symlink in my home folder.  Accidentally selecting the SVG marker has 
resulted in a freeze/crash at least 2-3 times. Removing my home folder 
from the svg paths seems to have provided a solution.

>/- 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./
