This is a list of long standing UX issues from RedHat/Gnome/Fedora devs:
* Preferences dialog is the wrong size or doesn't have a minium size & doesn't set to the center of the parent window. * The zoom correction should only effect documents set to physical units. ! Different document modes are needed for different workflows. * Inkscape should be maximised by default
* Shadow/border on document is not settable as the global setting. * The shadow shouldn't be the default. * Default colour for the border should be half gray half transparent * Restarting inkscape to load a new font is not good. * Lots of fonts installed causes inkscape to be slow. * Color outside the page should be a slight shade different * The resize page shouldn't be hidden by default. * Maximise should be the default for inkscape. * "Selection" option means "Whole Selection" in align * The align and distribute relative to should set some defaults depending on the selection. If one item is selected then the default should be to Page and if there are multiples selected then it should be to "Whole Selection" as it is now. * BUG: Where three text items are selected, the align to text-baseline sometimes depending on the item selected, aligns to the wrong item when Last Selected is used. First selected is also effeted. * Gimp's small theme allows more widgets to be displayed on the screen. Maybe some themes for inkscape would be useful. * Never make an object that is transparent and thus not selectable. * Multiple pages
None important issues
* Zoom correction should be specific to a screen.
