This is a figure with an object having some negative
coordinates.

Xfig offers to shift it back to the page when loading it.

This works when the fig was given on the command line when
started. When you have xfig running, then click the
file menu and load it from there, and say yes to shift back
on page it crashes.

Also, pasting objects from the cut buffer fails after some
drawing has been done. pasting immediately after program
start works.

If I now just knew how to attach the fig I would even send
it to you, but there doesnt seem  a way to here.

I will email if after i receive bugzillas commit
verification.
