It seems to be in different places each time I try it. If I place the cursor outside the page to the left, the object appears below and to the right. If the cursor is inside the page or on the right side of it, the object appears down and to the left. If I go some distance to the right of the page, the object goes farther to the right, still below. I found the preferences.xml file for inkscape and renamed it, but that didn't seem to make any difference. I haven't reinstalled Inkscape yet (since I uninstalled and reinstalled.) I noticed that after the uninstall, I still had an Inkscape folder in Program Files (This being windows XP I'm working in.) and the Inkscape folder had two folders -- python and shares in it. Does any of this make sense? -Joe Ward ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mr. Shawn H.

Yes, they all do. If I zoom in on the page so that it takes up most of the canvas, the object drawn seems to show up on the page, but at some distance from where I put the cursor when I begin. I'm using a mouse. -Joe
Does the object always appear to the left and above from where you expect it? If you re-size the window so it is in the lower-right quadrant of your screen, is the displacement greater?

The key to success is being too stupid to realize you can fail.
