similar problems also seen with Scribus 1.3.5 SVN OpenOffice (Writer)
Issue A identified as 'custom theme'
caused by: 'modded' version of XP with some 3rd party themes UXTheme Patcher reinstalling XP without the internet explorer core components Fresh Installation (No Internet Explorer Core Components) workarounds: change desktop theme to Windows classic Removing UXTheme resolved the bug use Win classic theme disable the windows themeing (aka uxtheme, aka Luna, etc) switch back to the Classic Windows Theme (odd size)
Issue B identified as 'incorrect window size'
caused by: inkscape somehow manages to create a window with zero width. workarounds: autohotkey script (force arbitrary size and position) -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question: Is this a blocker for 0.48 (or fixed in a dot release)?
The bug seems to be limited to Windows XP [1].
Statistics about usage of Windows XP: According to Wikipedia [2], «As of the end of June 2010, Windows XP is the most widely used operating system in the world with a 54.6% market share, having peaked at 76.1% in January 2007.»
Support status of Windows XP: Extended Support until 8 April 2014 (only Service Pack 3 x86 and Service Pack 2 x64)
------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1] only one comment reports the bug is present in Windows 7 too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/285267/comments/31
