when running the backtrace found that the problem is from libcairo.so.2 - but there was no libcairo with debug symbols available(dbgsym library. When hunting around for bugs where libcairo crashes other apps, found a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libcairo/+bug/123281. and found that some rouge fonts can cause this issue - I had a bad version of Monaco font(which was set as the system/gnome default monospaced font) - removing it and fc-cache -fv solved the problem for me.
