Can you please provide the Launchpad Bug ID# so I can take a look at it?

Thanks, Josh

I've been using Inkscape for along time now - over 2 years - and all my schematic drawing are now in SVG form. I always work in landscape, using a template file with a standard frame etc.

When I upgraded my distro to debian lenny, I noticed that it now carried Inkscape version 0.46. I didn't think a lot about it, although noticed there were oddities with the new way of setting out grids. This was a minor nuisance, but was quickly rectified, and the overall behaviour seemed improved.

It was only recently when I tried to print out one of these files I realised there was a serious problem. Looking around the 'net I noticed that a lot of other people had the same issue (can't print landscape). However, when I went onto the bug tracker to see what was happening, I was quite astonished to see this had been assigned a low priority.

I don't understand how a printing failure on a graphics package can be thought of as unimportant. The only practical workaround I can find is to save these as pdf then use evince to print them. I'm considering going back to v 0.45 but that will mean re-doing all the grid settings again.

I fully support the work being done on inkscape and have been singing it's praises to anyone who'll listen, but I really hope this gets sorted out sooner rather than later.
