Short description of error
(Edit) Text on Curve crashes blender 2.8

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Factory Defaults
Add Bezier Circle
Add Text
Activate Text on Curve for Text object and select the bezier circle
Notice that it won't show until you toggle edit/object mode Notice that in edit mode the cursor is not at the end (cause of bug/crash?)
Press cursor key left
CRASH

Thanks a lot!

Hi Bastien,

I really don't know why, but I've used the template, gave complete instructions how to get blender to crash. Is it only because I've asked to look into another small issue, you've set this to incomplete and gave me the "submission tips/templates"?
Well, if that is indeed the case, I've removed that small addendum at the end.
Otherwise I wouldn't know what else to give you.. a blend file won't do any good.

A simple .blend showing the problem would be a big help. It saves time in trying to reproduce the problem AND it shows us whatever settings are in effect.

In all this time it would only have taken an average blender user maybe 10 seconds to follow my "crash" path..

But here you go.. a .blend file, but I'm afraid you STILL have to do some work yourself to get it to crash (AND FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS PRECISELY, NOT MORE, NO LESS KEYS, MOUSE MOVEMENTS OR ANYTHING... to be sure it can be pinpointed to this particular problem:

Start blender with factory defaults
Open attached blend file
PRESS TAB
PRESS KEYBOARD CURSOR KEY LEFT!
Obeserve crash..

All in all this takes as much time as getting blender to crash WITHOUT the blend.. but you ask, I give...
crash_curve.blend

BTW, please also follow the first instructions, because the crash happens because the cursor key is not after the last character I THINK, but you would only see that better if you'd follow my original instructions, without the blend file

DO NOT WRITE WITH CAPITALS, IT GIVES THE FEELING YOU ARE SHOUTING!
I won’t explain again why .blend file helps us, already done hundreds of times, just follow our instructions, will save tremendous amount of time to everybody.
Crash confirmed

Hi,

You've fixed the most important part (the crash)
Is it on purpose that you did not fix the not showing text on curve before entering edit mode (because blender doesn't crash on it) or indeed forgot to read the original report?
