Hi, I'm running cvs version of Inkscape 0.43 and I'm having trouble wtih the paper size. When I create a new document I usually use A4 paper size. My default units are mm, and according to the Document properties an A4 sheet of paper is 248,03 x 350,79 mm. This is incorrect, should be 210 x 279 mm. When I accept this setting and return to the main window I create a vertical guideline at 0mm, which goes correctly to the left edge, and another guideline at 210mm, which goes correctly to the right edge. Strange... On the other hand horizontal guidelines go wrong; a hor. guide at 0 mm goes correctly to the bottom edge, but a guide at 279mm goes way below the top edge.
Another curious thing is that, although it uses 248,03 x 350,79 mm as the size in mm for A4 when I change the units to cm, it sets the page size to 21,26 x 30,07 cm. It didn't convert correctly.
How to reproduce this: - Open a new document. - Open "Document Properties" (Shift+Ctrl+D) - Set page size to A4 - Set units to mm (note the width and height) - Set units to cm (note the width and height)
If this is a know "feature" I'll wait for it's solution, otherwise I'll be happy to file a bug.
OK, I just checked the bug list on sourceforge and I guess this is just a confirmation of bug: [ 1391348 ] Win32: 0.43 devel+: wrong page sizes http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1391348&gro... I'm using Ubuntu Breezy, so I can confirm that.
Cheers.
