bezier curves with ellipse shape - bug?

Postby erik.teodoru » Sun Dec 10, 2017 10:03 am

Hi!
After I update from 0.91 to 0.92, I found some sort of bug when drawing Bezier curves with ellipse shape. For certain angles, I obtain a strange intersection, like the curve is twisted, at one of the ends (see next drawing)

To correct this, I must move the handle, and that sometimes this action modify the curve beyond acceptance (see drawing 2)

Can you tell me more about this? Am I doing something wrong, or there is something to be done to avoid this?

Thank you!

Can you share an SVG?

See the upper part. If you move the handle, in any direction, in one moment the curve is coming back to normal (not twisted anymore)

Yes, it looks right to me with Inkscape 0.91, and wrong with 0.92.2. I did a quick search through the bug reports, and couldn't find this issue.

Would you take another look, and open a new report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/ if you also cannot find one?

Have you tried increasing the pattern width to .4 or more?

There may be a bug, but this may be an acceptable workaround for you.

Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/

Yes, there are 2 options - drag a little bit the handles or increase the pattern width.
Sometimes it is working, sometimes not - because i alter my drawing. :)
At the end, at least I know I did not make a mistake :)
Thank you for your replies!
