Hey everyone,
While working today I came across something that I wanted to run past you all to see about filing a bug. Forgive me, but I always hesitate to clutter bug databases without at least posting to see if anyone else can confirm an issue I'm running into.
Here are the steps to reproduce.
Given the attached extrudesample.svg file. Create a polygon or star. (I used the default setting for a star, but it also happens if you create a square, circle or any other object). Apply: Effects -> Generate from Path -> Extrude (Again default settings in the dialog that opens). Select Edit -> Undo (Ctrl-z).
Notice how the highlight, blur, or other fill effects all disappear when you undo? If you redo the Extrude effect again they all reappear.
I can reproduce this consistently on Inkscape 0.45, on Ubuntu 7.04.
In this sample file there appear to be a couple of different things happening. Objects that have a gradient applied to them are deleted from the drawing. Objects that have a blur effect are retained, but the blur is removed from the object. The bug also doesn't seem to care if the objects are grouped, or not, or even if they're on separate layers. Notice the items in the reflection are on a layer named "reflection."
Anyway, thanks for taking a look. If someone knows of a bug that already exists for this issue, I'll be happy to include this sample file for testing if one isn't already attached to the bug. Or I can file a new bug, but I wanted to run it by you all first to see what your thoughts are.
Thanks, Sak.
