Left ruler not fully there

Postby BobSongs » Mon Jun 29, 2009 4:11 pm

I'm having a small problem with the rules in Inkscape 0.46.

Oddly, the top (left to right) ruler is normal and as it's always been.

The ruler on the left side shows only a fraction of the original ruler. I can see some small tick marks but the numbers are no longer visible.

I have installed 0.47 and now I'm back to 0.46. I've re-installed the O/S and I've removed the .inkscape folder...

While it's not tragic... I'd like to be able to restore the left ruler.

Any suggestions?

I don't know if this will work, but you might try going into Inkscape Preferences, to the Misc page, and put a checkmark on both places for making a toolbar smaller. If it works, I'm not sure if maybe you could get by checking one and not the other. But it certainly can't hurt to try. When I 1st installed v 0.46, I had several bizarre problems (some things were missing, some extra things were showing, etc.) and making the toolbars smaller solved them all. I hope this works for you.

Thanks, brynn.

Tested and failed.

OK, I'm going to attempt to install 0.47rc. Hopefully this release will repair this silliness. I'll report on my findings.

Hmm.

I just compiled Inkscape 0.46-devel and the rulers are perfect.

The Icons on the left are very pretty too. Very nice work. I'm almost afraid now to try 0.47rc.

lol

Gotta copy those working icons... just in case they change their minds.

:lol:

Hello,

I also can not see the ruler on the left side and I do not want to compile it myself.
Strangely I can remember seeing the left ruler a few month ago.
somewhere it must be possible to turn them on or off...
I am very very thankful for any suggestions!


Inkscape 4.6, KDE 4.2, Kubuntu 9.4
