Hi there,
I'm using Inkscape 0.45.1 under MacOSX.
I have a problem when I resize a page vertically: the elements of the drawing move with the resize, because their distance remains fixed from the _top_ of the page, instead of from the bottom of the page.
When a page is resized vertically, the height of the page changes. The bottom is the zero, so it remains fixed, and it is the top that moves. However, the coordinates of the elements of the drawing move with the top. I think this is not desirable: their coordinates are from the bottom of the page, so they should remain in the same position in respect to the bottom of the page. Unfortunately, this is not what happens.
For example, if I align my drawing with the grid and then resize vertically, the elements are completely misaligned, because the grid remains fixed from the bottom of the page, but the elements don't.
This does not happen when I resize a page horizontally. In that case, it is the right border that moves, but the elements of the drawing maintain their positions in respect to the left border, where the horizontal zero is. This is the desirable behaviour, IMO.
I am thinking of filling a bug report, but I'm new to Inkscape. I want to be sure that I'm right and that this is indeed a bug and not a feature that was implemented for some reason that I don't understand. Can some one comment on this?
Thanks,
Paulo
