Clipped Path but clickable area still there

Postby ibob » Thu Dec 23, 2010 1:34 am

Hi,

This might be a bug, or perhaps I am using the software wrongly. But I have clipped a bitmap image to make it smaller. However, if I click where the image used to be, it is still selectable. I am using 0.47. Is this a bug or by design?

Thanks,

James

p.s. I am trying to convert to inkscape from Adobe fireworks and am feeling the pain of not having a select area function with cut, paste and crop. Do these function exist as these are basically my stock functions?

Move your clipped object to another layer and the problem will disappear.

Hey Ivan,

thanks for the reply. Yep, this is a good work around. I presume that this is a bug then and will try and file it.

Thanks,

James

See my earlier comment: it is a known bug, already filed.

Yes and this is even in the bug report that I discovered the workaround !I filled myself a duplicate of bug #365458 last week.
