Hi,

I discovered some strange things when moving textboxes around. I will first describe this behavior and then describe what my problem is.

I create a text box, with flowed text. In the XML this looks like <parent> <flowid> <rect /> </flowid> <text /> </parent>

When I move this box around, not the position of the rect that is changed, but a global translate is applied to the parent entry.

I discovered this, because our printer somehow renders the text box, and hiding whats behind. This is not a problem when the text is at the same place as the box, but it is a problem when you moved the text and the box did not move along.

This behavior seems strange at the first glance, however, it is somehow logical from the internal XML structure.

I wrote a little extension to shift these boxes arround: https://bitbucket.org/vascotenner/inkscape-fix_text_boxes/overview
