Question: Pattern-along-path (LPE) deforms circular path - known issue?
Hi,
I'm Dieter and this is my first entry to this mailing list. As I really appreciate the efforts of the inkscape developers I would like to contribute by reporting issues/bugs.
I've noticed that, whenever I add the LPE (Pattern along path) on a "perfect" circle (created with Ctrl -> make whole ellipse -> Object to path), the circle (the path for the pattern) gets slightly deformed - subsequently the pattern also doesn't follow a perfect circle. I'm able to replicate the problem (also with default preferences).
Originally, I wanted to report this as a bug, but the inkscape website suggests to ask around first. So, does anybody know if this is a known issue or if it should behave like this (I suppose not)? On GitHub I couldn't find an entry for this particular issue.
Thx, Dieter
Sorry, I'm using Inkscape 1.0 (4035a4fb49, 2020-05-01)

Welcome Dieter,
Come to the rocket chat chat.inkscape.org and join the team testing channel. We have a team dedicated to testing, bug triage and I know help would be very welcome there.
We are also hosting a hackfest day August 15th which will be focused on the testing team and getting new people into helping with Inkscape testing.
Let me know if you need any help.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Yes, I believe this is a known issue that happens when circles are converted to paths.
This has been much improved (not sure when - before or after 1.0 release... - please test with a current build for your operating system - let us know if you need a link to it), but it could not be fixed 100%, as far as I recall.
You can also use polar arrangement, if the pattern does not need to be deformed while it bends around the circle.
