That is a configurable behavior. There's a button for it on the toolbar when the Selection tool is being used.
I think the original poster was referring to a different thing - including of stroke into bbox, which we incidentally are discussing right now. It looks more and more evident to me that something
needs
to be done about that (although I personally have no problem with
the
current behavior, and curiously I don't remember any complaints on this matter until very recently).
I don't have a problem with the current behaviour either - now that I
know a way around it anyway - though it did seem a bit of a problem until I'd figured out the solution.
Incidentally, is there a way to change the defaults on things like that - Document Properties for instance? I suppose the clunky way to
do it is to create a new document, save it under a name like 'default.svg', edit its properties and use that as a 'template' each
time one wants to start a new picture. Be nice to be able to change
the defaults 'globally' though (or maybe I just haven't found how to
do it yet...).
if you look in your home directory for the inkscape install theres a file called default.svg thats what inkscape uses as a template when you hit the new doc button. Load it, change any settings you want to keep, save it. should now apply them to all new docs. Your right tho, a save prefs as defaults button might not be a bad idea.
