We should not allow collections to be added to or removed from themselves.
This request was not resolved in time for the current release. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
I was able to reproduce (kinda) on gnome-documents-3.14.3-1.el7.x86_64. Gnome-Documents didn't crash for me, but I was able to add a collection to itself and it created an infinite loop of those collections. Similar issue except no crash. But as comment #2 says, collections probably shouldn't be able to be added or removed from themselves.
I have built gnome-documents-3.14.3-3.el7: https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=11181410 This prevents nested collections and ensures that they are always flat. This is in line with what we did upstream in more recent versions.
