I have read through a dozens of requests for help with invisible objects, and not one nooB indicated that they had gone through the tutorials in the help menu (or even the first tutorial). This suggests that users who have actually gone through the tutorials are not having these types of issues.
I'm an Inkscape developer and I get frustrated when I try and draw shapes and lines and they're invisible. It's infuriating to have styles flow over from one document to another and I suspect that if we ran it as a UX battery of tests, we'd be able to see user's not expecting this kind of behaviour.
There's just a lot of problems with the way we save styles. Currently all my text has a -2 char spacing and -10 line spacing. Lord only knows how it got into that state, but it's not clear at all how to put it back except by killing the preferences with fire.
