[Bug 893733] [NEW] Fontforge crashes when I try to expand a stroke

[Ricardo Bánffy]

Public bug reported:

FontForge has been shaky since the first release of Unity, but now, with
Gnome 3, it has become unusable. It crashes for no apparent reason, when
you hit Control, when you select a function from a menu (that's new -
last time I had to use it, menus were safe). Maybe the transcript below
helps.
