Bug fixes
General
Copy-Paste
:
A long-standing, very annoying bug where, when copying an object to the clipboard while also running certain other programs on Linux desktops (mainly clipboard managers), caused multiple export extension dialogs to open, has been fixed, so
you can now again use your favorite clipboard manager
while also using Inkscape (
Commit fe7c68
,
Bug #575
)
When copy-pasting some items along with their originals/frames/paths (clones, text-on-path, text-in-a-shape, linked offsets), they are
no longer displaced
in relation to the pasted original (
Commit b93f21
,
Bug #853
)
Stroke to Path
: Converting an object's stroke to a path
no longer makes its clones vanish
(
Bug #1120
)
Performance
: Improved rendering performance when
zooming through multiple zoom levels
(
Commit 28e21e
)
CSS
: CSS classes that start with a letter that isn't part of the ASCII set are
no longer ignored
(
Bug #1094
)
Cleanup
: An outdated link that pointed to a potentially offensive website now has been
removed
from a branding document (
Commit 88efa4
)
User interface
: Random actions should
no longer cause sudden scaling
of the canvas (
Commit 49fc36
)
Markers
: When adding a marker to a line, it can now be
removed with a single Undo action
again (not two) (
Commit 179fe9
,
Bug #2130
)
macOS
Performance
: Packaging has been updated for macOS, which
removes a performance regression
in Inkscape 1.0.1 (
Commit 643286
)
Arcs
from Inkscape files created with versions older than 1.0 are no longer rendered as slices (
Bug #1900
)
When
dragging on an ellipse's handles
inside the ellipse to create an arc, Inkscape no longer renders it as a closed slice (
Commit def938
)
Eraser Tool
A long-standing issue with the Eraser tool
painting red lines instead of erasing
as soon as the user has interacted with a menu or dialog or another user interface element has been fixed (
Bug #2068
,
Commit 2057bf
)
Objects with a mesh gradient now
keep their fill when copied to a different document
(
Bug #579
)
Filter Editor dialog
The dialog elements are
readable now when using a dark theme
(
Bug #885
)
Objects dialog
The
search
function in the 'Objects' dialog
shows results
again (
Bug #1736
)
Selectors and CSS dialog
In addition to multiple crash fixes (see below), the dialog now correctly recognizes
style tags inside the documents defs section
(
Commit 12f4d6
,
Bug #905
)
Text
A series of related
bugs with text objects
was fixed (
MR #2434
).
All of the affected actions required a text object to behave like a path, but it behaved like a group, and the action failed. This series of bugs mostly affected new users who were following tutorials which did not work as expected.
Specifically, the following actions now work again:
A text object unioned with itself results in a
single path
again.
Text objects can again be
used with other objects in all Boolean operations
.
Text objects can again be
inset and outset
.
Text objects can again be used to create a
Dynamic Offset or a Linked Offset
.
The
font preview
sample now contains the
correct currency symbols €¢
(instead of \342\202\254\302\242). One needs to reset the preferences to see the updated font sample text (
MR #2547
).
Custom font folders
are found now and taken into account, even when the installed Pango version is newer than 1.44.7 (
Bug #1977
,
Commit 1771fa
)
Crash fixes
A variety of crashes have been fixed for this current bugfix release.
Specifically, we fixed a crash …
… when drawing with the
Calligraphy tool
inside a group with the 'Rotate copies' live path effect (and possibly when adding items to groups with a different path effect applied to them) (
Commit b62cd9
,
MR #2386
)
… when
duplicating a text
that had lost the frame it was flowed in (
Bug #1919
)
… that happened randomly when using
undo / redo
(
Commit 3cb09a
)
… or, actually, multiple different crashes occuring with the
Selectors and CSS dialog
on Redo, Undo and Clone actions, as well as on closing the document and when having a duplicate window open (

in the document whose color is defined by context-stroke (like Inkscape stock markers) (
Bug #1984

)
… / a freeze that occured
when importing a PDF file with many icc color spaces defined
(
Bug #1878
,
Commit 5c1048
)
… when starting Inkscape
compiled with
musl
instead of glibc (affecting certain Linux distributions e.g. VoidLinux, Alpine, Gentoo) (
Commit #a32669
,
Bug #2147
)

A few
label texts
were improved in the new
"Scribus PDF Export"
extension (
MR #226

The
