First I want to say how much I like the new version (0.40) of Inkscape. Great work everyone.
There are a couple of things I'd like to mention, which may or may not be bugs.
(1) When I have caps lock on, all of the other keys on the keyboard act as if the shif key is being pressed, not just the letters. For example, if I press the "8" key a "*" symbol is displayed. Or, if I press the ";" key a ":" is displayed. Is this intentional?
(2) When I try to export an image Inkscape automatically minimizes the export dialog window. The only way I can make it visible is by right clicking on the minimized window and maximizing it to cover the entire screen of my monitor. So I only get 2 choices for display of the image export dialog, not at all or full screen. This isn't a major problem, but it would be good if I could manipulate the dialog like any other floating window.
I am also wondering if there are any plans to implement a fully justified text feature in Inkscape. I realize it is a vector graphics program, but I think this is one of the only things that would prevent Inkscape from being used for document layout.
Thanks,

P.S. - If I need to fill out a bug report on these 2 issues, just let me know. I am running Windows 2000 on a Dell Precision 530 machine, with version 0.40 of Inkscape.

Inkscape remembers the size and position of windows. Try maximizing it, then hitting the restore button in the window manager, then resize to taste.

Ah... should be an easy solution. When it is off-screen (not really minimized) right-click it in the taskbar and choose "move". Hit an arrow key, then move your mouse. It should be able to bring it into view... stupid windows needing the arrow key prior to letting the mouse move. Has worked for me every time something like that happened.

Bulia is working on some awesome advanced text features... so don't be surprised if it shows up in a near release. .41 if you're lucky, but probably .42 last I heard.
