Hmm, do you have your build files separate? If so, just clear them. Here's what I do which makes things like this easier:

svn co http://..../inkscape/trunk inkscape.work cd inkscape.work ./autogen.sh mkdir build cd build ../configure --prefix=`pwd`/../install make install

This makes it so that all your build files are in the "build" directory and all your install files are in "install". In situations where the build gets confused you can do a "rm -rf build" and start from there.

Can someone check this for me?

1. Make a large text object (or zoom in closely). 2. Unset fill. 3. Clone text object. 4. Set gradient fill of the clone.

The gradient (for me) doesn't work correctly, either radial or linear. If you position the handles /just right/, you can see a very small gradient that does not widen, only rotates and extends it's radial position from the anchor point. Otherwise, the object is one of the two end colors

Does anyone know of a bug like this? If it's not just me, or already been filed, I'll file a report.

Joshua, This does not work for me either. I am using Win 2000 and build Nov 15. I don't see the very small gradient. The clone stays black. I wonder is this related to the bug I already reported about gradient not working on shapes in Win 2000? What OS are you using? While fiddling with your problem I noted the following behaviour with shapes and text:

1.Create shape 2.Create clone 3. Cannot create gradient in clone. 4. Create gradient in original 5. Clone gets same gradient 6. Clone can now be rotated/moved scaled etc and the gradient stays with the shape. 7. Original goes unset when rot/mov/scale etc.

Going a little bit further.

1.Create shape 2. Create clone 3 .Unlink clone 4. Can create gradient in clone 5. Clone unsets with rot etc. 6. Original can take gradient but goes unset when rot etc as before.

There definitely seems to be something peculiar with gradient behaviour in my system. It would be great to have that fixed as several people have notice it now with win2000. kaver@...68... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joshua Facemyer / Impressus Art" <faceman@...1574...> Cc: "inkscape-devel List" inkscape-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2007 1:11 PM Subject: [Inkscape-devel] Gradient on cloned text bug?
