Crash Fixes

Fixed a crash …

  • … when exporting clones using 'context-fill' or 'context-strokes' to define a color to PDF (MR 7169)
  • … when trying to convert a text-along-path that uses the 'path' attribute to define the path, which is new in SVG2 (and not supported by Inkscape yet - Inkscape uses 'href' to link to where the path is defined) to a normal text (MR #7191, Bug #5229)
  • … when trying to export one's custom keyboard shortcuts into a file (MR #7192, Bug #5746)
  • … when pressing
    Ctrl + Space
    in the Filter dialog (MR #7176, Bug #5569)
  • Fixed a freeze that occurred when Inkscape was trying to render filtered objects with invalid bounding box sizes (MR #7187, Bug #5356)


General User Interface

  • Handles (for rotation, shearing, ...) now look correct, even when the canvas is rotated (MR #7222, Bug #5278)
  • The LPE tool (or geometric construction tool) is now by default hidden from the toolbar. It is an experimental tool which is mostly not functioning well (MR #7037, Bug #5044)

Style

  • Clones or markers that contain groups which are set to inherit their style via 'context-fill' and 'context-stroke' attributes now use the correct styles in Inkscape and also when exporting to PDF (MR #7169, Bug #5670, Bug #3458).
