Hi! I just spoke with bryce on IRC and he told me to go ahead and email the list.
I have an issue in inkscape that only happens when I choose an object,
copy, cut, and then paste that object back into the same file.
Whenever I perform these tasks in a row, the object that I have just
pasted disappears in any preview or use mode, such as in nautilus,
gimp, gnome-panel, gnome icon themes, etc. but whenever I look at the
file in inkscape, the object is still there.
I can edit the object, distort it, reshape it, etc. and as long as I do
not cut-copy-paste, the object remains visible. And nothing I do
after the copy-cut-paste makes the object visible again. I have
reviewed the xml files and I cannot see a difference that would make
the object invisible.
I have included two sample files: the original gnome-fs-directory.svg
file, and then the modified gnome-fs-directory-issue.svg file that has
a major object that has been copied-cut-pasted, that no longer appears
visible.
I can repeat this issue on any file with the same results. I've
scoured google looking for any hints, and the only thing I could find
was regarding Nautilus 2.1.5, and I'm on 2.10.0.
Is there anything I can do to repair the object to make it visible again?
