Thank you for bringing this up and addressing it so thoroughly. For 0.91 I am leaning toward not having the ui muck things up. We're close to release and this is major blocker territory.
I'm not opposed to keeping the changes, but fixes need to start flying in for me to remain supportive.
Cheers,
Josh
Hi,
Trunk/experimental has the ability to change the "Document Unit" in the
Document Preferences dialog. Changing the unit changes 'lengths'
throughout the document. This process has quite a few problems as
demonstrated by the number of bugs reported. In order to get a handle on
these problems, I've started a Wiki page to track the issues and to get
an idea about possible solutions:
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Units_In_Inkscape:_Document_Unit_Change
The problems are quite complex. The simplest solution for the short-term
(on the 0.91 release time scale) might be to just disable document unit
changes.
Please look at the page and add your comments, bugs, etc.
Thanks,
Tav
