Think I have a issue with Inkscape
But not sure, a week or so ago I noticed a problem but kept working with it, I don't remember it from before so may be I just noticed it, who knows, but here is the problem,
This is the steps, open Inkscape Change to landscape and letter Select outline mode Import Pic or image,
Here is the problem, The pic does not show, I just get a box with arrows, if I then go and choose normal my pic shows ( I honestly don't remember it doing this before) so may be I should be selecting normal till after I do that trace bit map, is so that fine, but the real problem is below.
Then I make a bitmap copy Then trace bitmap.
But them my other issue is, if I move the box with the picture at all, the picture inside the box moves so that you only see parts of the images, like the box is rolling around over different sections, its very annoying, and don't remember it doing that before,
I have uninstalled it and restarted and reinstalled and it is still doing the same thing, I am running 44.1 as I had loaded 45 before, and it has a know bug with saving, so I removed it,
Am I just loosing it, or is there a problem with my Inkscape.

Well, not knowing you before, I can't comment on whether your sanity has declined. But what I can say is that you've probably selected to move objects independent of their patterns. There's a small set of four button on the second tool bar when you're using the selection tool, the last one should be depressed for the imports to move.
Also, trace bitmaps doesn't work when you're using patterns. What you can do is import your images as images instead of patterns. To do that you'll need to go to Inkscape Preferences and then on the Misc tab there will be an "Import images as <image>", make sure that is selected.
Have fun, Ted
Ted, Thank you so much, both of your suggestions fixed the problems I was having, man, talk about loosing your mind if you hadn't already, Those two things were driving me nuts, and I know, it wasn't doing that before, I not sure what happened, but all is fixed now, thank you so much.
