Hi Friends,
I needed to add some new paths to existing paths which were in a
group. And I hate nested groups. So rather than group the new path with
the original group, I decided to combine the new paths with one of the paths
inside the group. And I found that combining the new paths to the paths
inside the group, removed the new compound path from the group. Should that
happen?
Steps:
1 -- create 3 paths (or create 1 and duplicate twice)
2 -- place the 3 paths side by side (with or without space between)
3 -- group those 3 paths
4 -- draw a new path
5 -- drag it over beside the left path
6 -- with the Node tool, select the left path and the new path
7 -- Path menu > Combine
8 -- deselect all
9 -- switch to Selection tool and select the group
Notice that the original Group of 3 is now a Group of 2. The newly
created compound path has been ejected from the Group. The same thing
happens if you enter the group before combining. Should that happen?
I don't know why Inkscape should assume that I don't want this new
path in the group anymore. I can't say for a fact that this is different
behavior than in the past. But it seems like it is.
If this is expected, why? If not, this is on Windows 7, 64-bit,
sp1, with Inkscape 0.91, 32-bit (exe installer) and 64-bit (7z version).
Should be reported?
Thank you very much :-)
