Hello,
I had been working with a progressively complicated SVG file when after a while I noticed strange behavior:
- When I tried to export the drawing or the bounding box defined by some object, all I got was a transparent PNG file.
- When clicking on the "Zoom to fit drawing in window" button, I didn't see anything any more. Only via Edit->Select all and then "Zoom to fit selection in window" button lets me the entire drawing.
- When I set the page size to some selection (single or multiple selection), the page was set to something that didn't have to do with the selection at all.
- When I ungrouped stuff that had been moved, copied and pasted or ortherwise modified, parts of the group flew all over the place.
- Several other aggravating things that I fortunately don't remember.
- Saving as "Plain SVG" and then loading that didn't change anything.
Of course I thought it was some weird invisible object causing all this, so I deleted all layers one by one but the behavior persisted. After I ended up with a completely empty drawing, I drew a single rectangle into it and still observed the weirdness. I've attached the file in question. It was made with v0.45, but v0.44 behaves the same.
Open the attached file, then click "Zoom to fit drawing in window". You'll see.
Or select the single object, then do File->Document Properties->Fit Page to selection. For giggles, click several times.
What's happening here?
