Summary: line of skewed object not displayed skewed Bug ID: 851008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi

I skewed an arrow in Sodipodi and the line was displayed with constant width; that's what I wanted.

But unfortunately the line's nodes were not moved but the arrow was skewed (transform="matrix...). It would be great to have an option where I skew the shape but the line stays constant-width: no transformation is applied, but instead the coordinates of the path are changed.

Anyways, the display is incorrect AFAICS, check

I've also found the current behavior to be a bit wacky, especially for technical drawings, where you want to maintain constant line width for all the shapes in the chart.

However, I'm not really sure this is is a bug - perhaps this is a feature request? Would it be very difficult to implement a capability such as described above?
