Hi,

 

I’m Dieter and this is my first entry to this mailing list. As I really appreciate the efforts of the inkscape developers I would like to contribute by reporting issues/bugs.

 

I’ve noticed that, whenever I add the LPE (Pattern along path) on a “perfect” circle (created with Ctrl –> make whole ellipse ->        Object to path), the circle (the path for the pattern) gets slightly deformed – subsequently the pattern also doesn’t follow a perfect circle. I’m able to replicate the problem (also with default preferences).

 

Originally, I wanted to report this as a bug, but the inkscape website suggests to ask around first. So, does anybody know if this is a known issue or if it should behave like this (I suppose not)? On GitHub I couldn’t find an entry for this particular issue.

 

Thx,

Dieter
