Hi John,
The new version of the inkscape package is available in Ubuntu Oneiric (the latest development version). Unfortunately, it is Ubuntu policy that only *major* issues get fixed in stable versions of Ubuntu (e.g. bugs that make the core functionality of packages completely unusable). The rationale for this is that it is better to support packages with a few well known minor bugs than it is to support poorly-understood/experimental patches. Because JessyInk is just an extension, it is unlikely that the fix will make it into Ubuntu Natty. The best bet is to manually download the latest package version and install it manually. If you need help with that, let me know.
Thanks,
Alex

Hi Hannes,
I patched the Ubuntu package (>= 0.48.1-2ubuntu5) to fix this problem. You can try installing this in another DEB based distribution. I don't foresee any problems as long as the distro has all the package dependencies available. ...
Hi Alex, For while the newest version I see available after updating through synaptic is 0.48.1-2ubuntu2. Does this fixed version need to be installed manually or will Ubuntu eventually pick up a newer version?
Thanks! , John
