Inkscape issue with "Object To Path"

[Furinkazen]

Hey there.

Having a weird issue with any text-based decals I do on Inkscape at the moment. Basically I highlight them as per usual and do "Convert To Text". All good. Then "Object To Path". When I select that - the first character of the text always turns solid red. Absolutely no clue why this is, help please?

What if you type the text and then object to path?
