Hello everyone,

I'm using Inkscape 0.91 r13725 on Windows 10. I would expect the SVG I save to be identical to the SVG I load. See the attached screenshots.

I can recreate this problem taking the following steps:
1) Make a background
2) Enter some black text
3) Group the background and text***
4) Duplicate the text (using ctrl to select just the text)
5) Use linked offset on the duplicate
6) Expand the offset a little
7) Change the offset's color to white
8) Save
9) Load

***Step 3 is critical, and what I believe leads to the problem.

The linked offset will load at a different size and create white streaks visible against any sort of background. I think this is easy enough to avoid in the future. However it is still annoying that previously saved files looked alright, but now I have to fix them.

I am not even sure if this qualifies as a bug. I can repost it to https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape if people think this is a bug rather than me using Inkscape in some asinine way.

Well honestly, I expected this might be a newbie misunderstanding. But I've had the exact same results!

It may be already reported. Have you searched LP, to see if it's already been reported?

I think it is this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/384688 - if you convert the A to path, it looks alright.
