Debian stable works well, please confirm this problem.

Current FontForge is unusable, and should be fixed as soon as possible.

FontForge never crashes when I edit font info. Where do we go from here?

What's wrong with FontForge?

Nothing that you can properly report.

Your bug also occurs with GIT master. There is nothing we can do about it packaging-wise. Please report it upstream.
