Interesting!
Could you clarify some of those? (Not that I could help to fix of course, but I'm just interested :-))
- Double clicking often hit mistakenly
(double-clicking by mistake would seem to be "user error" - so it must mean something else?) (Oh, this must be when you click the 2nd time with Selection tool too quickly, and it switches to the Node tool or enters the group? Yes, that was quite annoying when I first started with Inkscape - still does, sometimes.)
- Colour wheel was hard to use (dragging attempted)
(I had the same experience when I first saw that kind of wheel (which was probably in GIMP). Maybe HSL tab should be the default?)
- Completing an object (the final node) was difficult in 80% of cases
creating false endings in most cases.
(Not sure if that means for attempting to close a path. But that little box is indeed Tiny!)
- Clicking wrong option in text menu resulted in text disappearing (Fit
in box, rather than put on path)
(In general, there are many times when clicking the wrong thing makes objects disappear - not just text.)
New items:
- New rendering order UI: all users used icons to select the requested
rendering order quickly. Line cap and corner style uneffected.
(What is rendering order?)

Dear Inkscape,
These are the results from todays user testing at SpinachCon 2016 here in Boston:
- Selecting objects is hard when there are transparent areas
- Double clicking often hit mistakenly
- Tools for text are hard to find compared to other tools (no context
when text and path selected for example)
- Text did not indicate it's text alignment when changed (user was
confused)
- Tried to drag the text node (which indicates the text alignment)
- Colour wheel was hard to use (dragging attempted)
- Completing an object (the final node) was difficult in 80% of cases
creating false endings in most cases.
- Clicking wrong option in text menu resulted in text disappearing (Fit
in box, rather than put on path)
No LPEs or other advanced features tested
New items:
- New rendering order UI: all users used icons to select the requested
rendering order quickly. Line cap and corner style uneffected.
- Fixed unit text line height was still a bit buggy, but worked ok.
Units reverted to pixels which confused users.
I've formatted the items for ease of reading.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
