Bug fixes

General

  • Symbols that contain a clipping path or mask no longer cause the Symbols dialog to create a high processor load (Bug #3607, MR #4567).
  • The keyboard shortcut that is meant to scale the selection by 1 screen pixel now does so again (Bug #3799, MR#4818).
  • Raster images that are opened with Inkscape now end up in the page area even when the document origin is set to the bottom left corner (MR #4866, Bug #3939)

Styles

  • Saving markers that are compatible to SVG 1.1 now works for both marker direction and marker color at once (MR #4828, Bug #3913).
