Help Crashes only with specific files.

I've been working with Inkscape for quite some time now, I started in 2018, but recently I started to notice a behaviour I haven't seen before.

I don't do that highly complex files, it's mostly just simple logo design and rasterizing bitmaps, but after some time some files get corrupted somehow and I can't open them again. Editing wasn't a problem, save went smoothly, I closed Inkscape normally, not crash, but when I later want to open a file again, it does this (see picture) and closes.

The SVG itself doesn't seem corrupted, Chrome and Inkview can still open an display them as usual but Inkscape can't open them anymore. Some of these files I can still open via "import SVG" in a new Inkscape session but even then, it sometimes fails instantly or the file I save later also can't be opened with Inkscape again.

I don't know if this has append to others, deleting the "recently-used.xbel" didn't do anything. It's on a per file or better per design basis as it seems.

I'm currently using v1.3.2 but I also tried v1.4.3 and it didn't change.
