1.0beta1 (fe3e306, 2019-09-17), Windows 7

1. open fresh document
2. create text rectangle
3. enter enough text to cause wrapping
4. F1 to switch to selection tool
5. Ctrl-D to duplicate text object
6. Shift-DownArrow until objects are no longer overlapping
7. F8 to select "create and edit text objects" tool
8. Use tool to resize the text rectangle
9. observe that both text rectangles are being resized even though only one is selected.

Skimmed a few hundred gitlab bugs but didn't spot anything like this.

Probably doesn't happen with clean profile directory.

OTOH, seems to repro if I force creation of fresh profile directory.

SET INKSCAPE_PROFILE_DIR=.\inkprof

c:\bin\InkscapeBeta\bin\inkscape.com

Resulting .svg indeed seems to be using same rect for both text objects:

I see in the dev list mention of delay due to flow text issues, so I think they are aware.

When posting code to this forum, instead of the quote tool, you might want to use the text style dropdown menu "Formatted",

which will give you results like this:

<defs
     id="defs2">
    <rect
       id="rect12"
       height="46.869047"
       width="106.58929"
       y="28.72619"
       x="21.922619" />
  </defs>

Have a nice day.

Hmmm. Nothing to do with text flow, of course. Objects are being cross-linked; .svg file is effectively corrupted by dup operation. I'm surprised if that's known and has no actual bug logged against it.

Thanks; the lack of a preview button makes me surprisingly slow to learn these things. I guess the intent was people would just keep hitting the Edit button to retry.

Text flow architecture is significantly different from .92.x in the upcoming Inkscape version, to follow SVG2: https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG2/text.html#TextShapeInside

A new shape is not being generated in the defs upon duplication, the way a new flowRegion was generated in the earlier implementation 

Of course, flow being broken was mentioned by Jabier a couple of weeks ago: http://inkscape.13.x6.nabble.com/Request-to-postpone-release-of-Inkscape-1-0-Beta-td4983523.html#a4983524

Have a nice day.

Flow text is fixed in beta, the things I write to CR are fixed. But this is a unhandled bug. Could anyone open a new issue and asign to me?

Regards

Might as well meet the new bug tracker, so I gave it a try: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/issues/928

This is still a problem in Inkscape 1.1.1 using space bar tap duplication
