Crash fixes
Fixed a crash when …
Bug fixes
General
- Fixed … (Bug #, MR #)
- Improved a few user interface texts and added some missing icons back (Bugs #3355, #4193, #4316, MR #5393)
- Ellipses no longer look cut off in certain cases at some zoom levels when moved close to the page's corner (Bug #4445)
- The text boxes that indicate what an object will be snapping to no longer flicker with grids (Bug #4242, MR #5580)
Dialogs
General
- When docking a dialog underneath another dialog, it no longer vanishes (Bug #4254, MR #5490)
- The status bar no longer talks about nothing having been deleted when you paste an object with any tool other than the Selector tool or the Node tool (Bug #3031, MR #5524)
- The toolbox's width now automatically adjusts when you change the size of its icons. When you change its width manually, it will now scale to fit the icons, in steps, so that no space is wasted (Bug #3334, MR #5545)
Export
- 'Optimized PNG' can now be selected from the Export dialog and doesn't automatically switch back to normal PNG all the time (MR #5557)
Layers and Objects
- Activating a layer in the dialog no longer leads to the layer being selected on-canvas as if it were a normal group, so you can activate a layer to draw in again directly. A second click is now needed to select the layer on-canvas (Bug #8423, MR #5394)
- Layers no longer automatically expand to show their contents when they are selected (MR #5566)
- A right-click on a layer opens its context menu and activates the layer, but it also no longer selects it like a group on-canvas (MR #5566)
- To select multiple layers in the dialog, each layer must now be selected with either Shift + Click or Ctrl+Click (MR #5566)
- The dialog's buttons for moving or deleting a layer or an object will now move and delete the right thing automatically, no matter the dialog's mode ('Layers only', or 'Layers and Objects') (Bug inbox#7792, MR #5394)
- When a layer is deleted, the next layer becomes the active layer again (instead of the document root) (Bug #3839, MR #5394).
- When setting a mask by using only the Layers and Objects dialog and a keyboard shortcut, Inkscape no longer crashes (MR #5532, Bug #4412)
- The buttons for moving and deleting now feature tooltips (MR #5560)
Snap Panel
- The advanced snap popover panel now correctly shows all disabled sub-items as disabled (Bug #3421, MR #5121)
Import / Export
- Inkscape no longer crashes when importing a PDF file whose page names are encoded in UTF-16 (Bug #4442, MR #5589)
- Inkscape also no longer crashes when a clone is in the selection that you want to export to PDF or SVG (Bug #4482, MR #5615)
- Bleed is no longer ignored when exporting documents with just a single page to PDF (Bug #4487, MR #5620)
Path Operations / Shape Builder
- Using the "Division" path operation and the Shape Builder tool now results in a much more reasonable number of nodes (Bug #471, Bug #4494, MR #5962)
- Converting a text object that uses different styling for different parts of the text now respects that styling again in all cases (Bug #4403, MR #5515)
Tools
Selector Tool
- Right-clicking on a selected object finally applies the right-click to that object again instead of the group it is in, a bug which had impacted workflows quite a bit since the release of Inkscape 1.2 (Bug #5620, MR #5626)
Text Tool
- Worked around a bug that happened with a certain, outdated Gtk setting, where trying to use the Text tool would freeze Inkscape ((Bug #3664, MR #5236))
Live Path Effects
- Deleting a segment of a path using the Corners LPE no longer leads to a crash (Bug #4390, MR #5528)
- The bounding box of an object with the Corners LPE is now calculated correctly (Bug #4341, MR #5547)
Extensions
Linux-specific fixes
Windows-specific Fixes
- Using the 7zip package of Inkscape no longer requires users to call 'inkscapecom' to access Inkscape on the command line (Bug inbox#8893, MR #5574)
macOS-specific Fixes
- Trying to dock a dialog underneath another dialog now no longer has a 100% crash rate. A few crashes may still occur, but it is fixed for the majority of cases (Bug #4111, MR #5489).
- We've tried to fix the 'tofu' (user interface text showing up as little rectangles instead of letters) that under some rare conditions showed up on macOS when the user interface font could not be found (MR #5625, Bug #3532)
