Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))
I just spent an hour trying to use port inkscape into Mojave.
This gave me a black drawing screen with 100% cpu time.
Turns out, this has been a verified issue (#57925) for more than 3 weeks. The ports mechanism should warn the user if there are known issues before proceeding (maybe even listing the known ticket).
This would greatly improve the user experience of ports.

Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
Note that there are currently 14 tickets open about inkscape, yet it works fine for me on High Sierra. The mere existence of a ticket for a port does not mean that every user will experience a problem with that port. Therefore, I think we have to be careful about giving the user too much information, if that information is not necessarily relevant to their circumstances.
