Crash fixes

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).
  • Dithering (for smooth gradients) is now disabled by default, because it was causing a loss of performance while drawing (MR #4816).


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).
  • Objects with hairline strokes no longer lose that style when grouping or pasting (MR #4821, Bug #3643).


Dialogs

  • The 'Export' and 'Align and distribute' dialogs are no longer confused about what area to export / what type of item to align (MR #4800, Bug #3847, Bug #2732, Bug #3591).
  • Clarified wording of an option shown when importing SVG files (MR #4525).


Export


Linux-specific fixes

  • Inkscape no longer fails to run on Artix (Bug #7526, MR #4744).
  • Inkscape can now be built on systems using Poppler 22.09.0 (MR #4719).
  • Extensions that open another instance of Inkscape (e.g. PDFLaTeX) no longer fail when using an AppImage version of Inkscape (MR#4751, Bug Inbox#7607, Bug #2422).


Note about snap packages

It is no longer possible to install the Inkscape snap with the --classic option. If you need functionality that is unavailable in the standard snap package (being able to add custom filter packs, custom extensions communicating with other programs on the system / requiring system-wide dependencies, …), please choose a different packaging format.


Windows-specific Fixes

  • Extensions Manager and Clipart import work again on Windows. This fix was already available in 1.2.1, if you downloaded it after July 19 (Bug #3695, MR #4653).
  • The Text tool no longer crashes when selecting some specific fonts that have been installed multiple times in different file formats (Bug #7354, MR #4658).
  • Inkscape 1.2.2 can now be built for Windows on Arm (MR#4693).


macOS-specific Fixes

  • Undo / Redo are available in the menu again (Bug #3511, MR #4715).
  • Editing CSS in the CSS and Selectors dialog no longer leads to a crash (Bug #7500, MR #4749).
  • The spellchecker is finally available on macOS (MR#4860).


Command line

  • Trailing or duplicate semicolons no longer cause an action list command to fail (Bug #3480, MR #4714).


Improvements for development / deployment

  • Automated Windows builds work again (MR #4744, MR #4884, Bug #3859).
  • Windows builds succeed again in CLANG64 environments (MR #4153).
  • macOS arm64 builds are now generated automatically for testing (MR#4860).


Extension bug fixes

Bugfixes in particular extensions

  • Color extensions can work on patterns again (Bug extensions#483, MR extensions#483).
  • The extension Render > Barcode > QR Code can now create QR codes with sharp edges (as opposed to slightly rounded edges as previously) even when using the extension from inside Inkscape (as opposed to from the command line) (Bug extensions#491, MR extensions#494).
  • The Hershey Text extension now warns about manual kerning instead of crashing (Bug extensions#456, MR extensions#489).
  • Saving a self-made font as SVG font using Extensions > Typography > 3 - Convert Glyph Layers to SVG Font now works again when one of the characters is the apostrophe (single quote) character (Bug extensions#487, MR extensions#487).
