Inkscape 0.91 crashes when selecting multiple objects under Chinese/Taiwan(zh-tw) locale

Reproduced on Crunchbang Waldorf, Inkscape trunk rev. 13967. Inkscape crashes when selecting two (or more) objects.
Steps:
1. Draw a couple of objects (rectangles, circles...).
2. Select everything with Ctrl+A or by dragging with the mouse.
-> Crash.

Not reproduced with English and French UI.
Not reproduced with 0.48.3.1.

Forgot a step:
1b or 3. Switch to the selector tool.

Fix committed in the trunk, rev. 13968.
Workaround applied to the 0.91.x branch, rev. 13734.

Note that the fix required a change in the original strings, and thus backporting it is a bit complicated (we would have to update all the translations, which is something we usually don't do for bugfix releases). As a workaround, I have marked the entry that caused the crash "fuzzy" (the message is thus partially translated, but Inkscape doesn't crash anymore):

#: ../src/selection-describer.cpp:215
#, c-format, fuzzy
msgid "<b>%i</b> objects selected of type %s"
msgid_plural "<b>%i</b> objects selected of types %s"
msgstr[0] "已選擇類型 %s 的 <b>%i</b> 個物件"
msgstr[1] "已選擇類型 %s 的 <b>%i</b> 個物件"

JFYI, gettext requires that % fields follow the original order (here %s must be placed after %i). If not, it causes runtime issues.
In the trunk, I have modified the code so that we now use %1$i and %2$s and no longer need to follow the original order.

I think you may leave source code unmodified as
"<b>%i</b> objects selected of type %s"

then just modify po file as

msgid "<b>%i</b> objects selected of type %s"
msgid_plural "<b>%i</b> objects selected of types %s"
msgstr[0] "已選擇類型 %2$s 的 <b>%1$i</b> 個物件"
msgstr[1] "已選擇類型 %2$s 的 <b>%1$i</b> 個物件"

that should work and apply to previous version. (i tested on 0.91)

Fix committed in the 0.91.x branch rev. 13744 (replacing the workaround from rev. 13734).
Thanks for your test and suggestion, Sam!

This bug still needs to be fixed in Ubuntu 14.04

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This bug is still present in lubuntu 16.04.

Can confirm. I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 and still have to fix the mo file manually.

Sadly we didn't manage to release 0.91.1 (or 0.92) for the latest LTS Ubuntu. Let's hope 0.92 will be available in the updates (or backports) repository.

Hi, I (tried to) improve the title a bit, feel free to change it.

bug confirmed on archlinux with inkscape version 0.91 r13725 (Nov 26 2016).

I'd like to point out that the ubuntu package isn't really "Fix relased" at least on Ubuntu 16.04
