Normally, if I have a 100x100 px object and I put a 10x10 px object in front of it in the center and then clip, I will be left with a 10x10 px object with the design that was in the area where both objects overlapped. This is what I am used to and have experienced for as long as I have been using Inkscape.
However, today, I am running into an issue. I have an approximately 306x314 px group that I want to get the center out of. I used the clone feature to create a seamless tile. I duplicated the clones, moved them to a new layer, unlinked them, and they grouped them the way I needed. Then I made a 100x100 px gray box and have positioned it right where I need it to create the tile. When I clip the group, the area where both objects were is showing as expected. However, the size of this clipped object is not showing as 100x100. Instead, it is still showing with the original dimensions. So I have a lot of white space all the way around the 100x100 px design. This is not ideal and is exceedingly annoying. Why is it not showing the outline of the 100x100 image as 100x100? Why when I select it, it is showing the original boundaries?
