Hello,
I wish to draw attention to a bug that's been bothering me for some time (full report with example here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/213793). Hope I'm not too pushy, it seems the bug has kinda fallen out of scope.

I doubt this will help get the bug fixed any sooner, but I also reported some problems that sound quite similar, several months ago (Bug 299362).

And I'm just replying here in case the issues might be truly related, and that my reports might also help in solving the problem. And for the same reason, I just added a comment to the bug you referenced, at Launchpad, with a link to the bugs I reported. (I'm just a lowly end-user, with no coding or debugging skills But glad to help, even if it's just reporting problems )

Also I might mention, as was explained to me some time ago, that since Inkscape is Open Source, all the developers volunteer their time. So often new features get added, and problems get solved, because they are particularly interesting to the developers, and not necessarily according to how much demand there might be from end users. I like to think of Inkscape as a wonderful gift!
