On my Ubuntu laptop this occurs when one uses the main menu system and do Layers->New X Layer.
However if you right click on the Top Layer -> New Layer -> New X Layer or click on the + on the bottom left and choose a layer - both these ways of instigating it worked fine for me. Interestingly it all works fine on my Debian system. On the Ubuntu program it has an extra thread 'dconf worker' which isn't present in the Debian version. I've yet to determine if that really makes any difference. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1255275 Title: Adding any layer except Aggregate makes viking freeze To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/viking/+bug/1255275/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
