Hi,
In updating my book for 0.43, I have the following comments, in rough order of importance for 0.43 release:
Blur Edge effect doesn't work. Produces multiple copies of original but doesn't scale or shift them.
Using the Enter key when changing the Font size in the Text and Font dialog opens the drop down menu. The size of the text in the preview box no longer changes immediately (or even sometimes after an "Apply").
Incorrect bounding box calculation for arrow markers. The tip of the arrow is not included.
Connector and Gradient tools should be swapped in tool bar. The Gradient tool belongs next to the Dropper as both affect the color of an object.
Transform dialog: "Move" entries should default to zero. The most common task is to move an object in either the horizontal or vertical directions.
The Document Preference custom canvas size default unit is "pt" but "px" is used most other places in Inkscape.
The terms "Page" and "Canvas" are used inconsistently for the drawing size: Page: View menu Export bitmap dialog Alignment dialog Canvas: Document preferences dialog
New menu organization should be used.
Tooltips should still work for grayed out items.
Tooltip for Ellipse: Create circles, ellipses, and arcs. Should be: Create ellipses, circles, and arcs. (Generic -> Specific, like for Rectangle Tool)
