[Qgis-user] Unstoppable background task when using SVG as label background

[Sykora, Peter]

Dear all,
thanks to the documentation on https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/380964/qgis-labels-with-html-formating, I could successfully use inline SVG label backgrounds in my project. I just have an awkward behavior of QGIS when using them: When I initially configure the label background, everything seems to work out properly, the SVG background renders as defined. When I save the project and open it up again, QGIS informs me about the loading process of the SVG, which takes about 12 seconds, just for a simple red circle. I wonder what causes this rather long loading time. If I then try to close QGIS, it informs me about an ongoing background task which I can´t cancel. Neither yes nor no leads to closing QGIS, I have to stop the QGIS process in the task manager. (see screenshot attached or https://i.stack.imgur.com/CfhjO.jpg)
I could reproduce this exact behavior in different QGIS Versions (3.22,3.26,3.28) and I wonder that there seems to be nobody else who came across this problem so far. Does anyone have an idea what could be causing the problem?

Regards
Peter
