Dear all, I am teaching myself Inkscape (0.47) under Linux (Ubuntu 9.10). So today I looked at manual text kerning, but it just doesn't work, even though I am faithfully following instructions I found online. So, I created some text, double-clicked it, and moved in between single letters. Then I tried Alt-RightArrowKey, and nothing happens. Same thing with the other arrow keys. Shift-Alt-ArrowKeys also no luck. Needless to say, rotating can't be done either. Am I doing sth. wrong here, or is that a bug? Thanks for your helpful comments! David
