Hi Brynn,
as with all the Boolean operations, the result depends on the stacking order. Try moving the path you want to add to the group to the bottom first. For me, that works.
I'm not sure if this can be considered a bug... The stacking order is the established way to tell Inkscape how to combine/subtract/etc. objects.
Kind regards, Maren

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 newlycreated 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 :-) brynn
