Package: papers
Version: 49.3-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

1) What led to the situation:
not sure, papers started crashing when adding comments a few weeks ago.

2) I've been reading a long PDF and adding comments (unfortunately without saving all of the time), and at some stage upon adding a new comment (right click of the mouse, choose add comment) papers crashes.
I find plenty of lines of the following type in the journal:
Feb 15 20:39:58 diskordia papers[7457]: Clipping is broken, everything is clipped, but we didn't early-exit.
Feb 15 20:39:58 diskordia papers[7457]: Clipping is broken, everything is clipped, but we didn't early-exit.
Feb 15 20:39:59 diskordia papers[7457]: Clipping is broken, everything is clipped, but we didn't early-exit.

Feb 15 20:40:00 diskordia papers[7457]: Clipping is broken, everything is clipped, but we didn't early-exit.
Feb 15 20:40:04 diskordia papers[7457]: Error 24 (Too many open files) dispatching to Wayland display.

And I guess the crash comes with the Error 24.

This has happened a dozen times over the last days, and it greatly causes frustration.

3) Papers crashed

4) I would have loved for it not to crash
