Description: When two rectangles (one striped, the other with transparency) are placed on top of each other (or just overlapping), and when these are svg-exported with the 'Selection' option, then Inkscape cannot convert the svg file to eps. It allocates more and more memory and crashes. Exporting without 'Selection' option, that means the whole page, works fine. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a rectangular with striped surface. 2. Create another rectangular with any color filled and transparency. 3. Place the transparent rectangular on the striped rectangular. 4. Mark all elements and export the page to svg with ‚Selection‘ selected. When the svg file is opened in a viewer, it seems ok, but ... 5. … try to convert this svg file to eps via inkscape.com --export-type="eps" transparent-over-striped-bug.svg this allocates more and more memory and crashes after some time. Actual Results: Inkscape crashes with this svg file. Expected Results: eps file. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: When - the rectangulars do not overlap or - if the whole page is exported without ‚Selection‘ option, there is no problem. I reported another SVG problem (#149801). Probably there is the same cause.

I confirm the issue with the attached SVG, but I can't reproduce if I export from the ODG. Set to NEEDINFO. Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists with 7.4. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.

Problem solved. I checked it with LibreOffice 7.5.0.3 (X86_64) with Windows 10 Pro. Thank you all!
Sorry, this message belongs to another bug report. Please ignore here.
Problem still remains with LibreOffice 7.5.0.3 (X86_64), checked with Windows 10 Pro. When there are only the two rectangles in the page, it works well exporting the whole page and fails exporting the selected rectangles only. I opened both svg files with an text editor. The svg file which can be converted from inkscape to eps has a class definition ClipPathGroup. The svg file witch crashes inkscape does not have this definition. There are more differences, of course. I try to upload both svg files in a few minutes.
