Hi,
I've begun to update my book for 0.44. Should be a great release! But, I have run into a few bugs with a version of Inkscape from SVN a day or two ago. The following file can be used to illustrate the problems:
http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/DRAWINGS/ClipMask2.svg
The raw objects for clipping and masking are on the left, the clipped and masked objects (blue rectangles) are on the right. In the case of the first two items, the file is displayed correctly in Firefox trunk.
1. Clipping using stroked text without fill doesn't seem to work.
2. The masked object is invisible when the file is saved and reopened. The masked object can be restored by selecting the object, unmasking and remasking.
3. Sometimes the display of the gradient is not updated when the gradient tool is used to adjust it. Try editing the gradient in the above document by dragging a gradient node.
4. Not really a bug... but very confusing. The gradient editor does not switch to the gradient selected with the the gradient tool. This behavior is different from all other dialogs.
If needed, I'll file bug reports but I thought I would bring them up here first.

Fixed a couple weeks ago. Please always test up-to-date version.

Known issue, please someone submit a bug with detailed use case and sample file

Oops, this might be a side effect of my recent changes. I'll fix it.

Known bug, in the tracker, but I don't want to fix it because I plan to eliminate this dialog altogether eventually.

I did use a recent version... from two days ago (as I stated in the email). To double check, I just updated from SVN and the problem still exists. Clipping with a rectangle shape without fill, for example, works but not with a text path without fill.

I will submit a bug report tomorrow.

Sorry - I misread your report. I did fix clipping by _paths_ without fill, but didn't test clipping by text, so it may well be that text is still broken. I'll look into that.
