Hi Devs,
I need some help with the style bug #167937
I've created this patch which I've put into a branch which fixes the direct issue as it does not corrupt element styles with css values any more:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~doctormo/inkscape/css-style/revision/13177
It's a fairly simple patch which redirects the stylesheet setter so it sets the computed value of each of the properties instead of the actual value.
But it has bugs. Elements appear black until they have been nudged, then the style is applied. I can imagine the parent/inherited styles probably suffer the same bug but it's been under reported.
I'd also be interested in hearing if this is the right approach to fix the bug. Would it be better to change it so it updated the styles value but kept the .set set to false to indicate no real value should be saved?
Thanks for your help,
Best Regards, Martin Owens
