Entering numerical values multiple times with lines
Hi,
I'm using the stable .44 on Windows XP and experiencing a (subjectively) strange behaviour.
Summary ------- When working with straight lines (contour, no fill),I have to enter numerical values for height multiple times to end up with the wanted value.
The values approach the wanted value for a few steps instead of "getting it right" the first time.
Question -------- Is that a feature or a bug?
Example ------- Created a vertical, straight line with the SHIFT-F6 tool (can't remember the the english name at the mo), height is 95,286px, width is 1px, but should be exactly 100px.
1st time entered: 99,950 2nd time entered: 99,999 3rd time entered: 100,000
Comments are appreciated, thanks in advance.
Finally, someone else can confirm what I see all the time. It is annoying, and it has bothered me since before the 0.40 build.

A friend of mine checked the situation on .43 on Windows (2000 I think) and told me the problem is non-existent there.
I'm aware that the "friend told me, not sure about his OS"(tm) thing may not be too helpful, thought I'd mention it anyway.

Yes, I can. I've noticed it before too and just verified that it does indeed still happen with 0.44. (Note: for some reason it doesn't happen to me with everything I draw, but the procedure outlined in the original e-mail does indeed reproduce the problem for me.)

I can confirm that this does not happen in the Linux 0.44 version of Inkscape, though it happened with the 0.42 version. I tried the 0.43 Windows version and it also does not happen (or I got very, very lucky to enter values accepted at once).
