Beginners' Questions Exporting a selection and viewBox

    Although I have been using inkscape intermittingly for 20 years or so I think this qualifies as a beginners questionΒ πŸ˜€.
    I have a simple SVG image (path18, see attachment). I can load it and save it without problems.
    However, if I select the (only) object, and check "Export Selected Only" on the Export tab, I get an SVG with extremely large dimensions (path1, see attachment).
    What am I doing wrong?


    Inkscape 1.4.2 on Fedora 42.

    Steps:

    • Start inkscape
    • Open path18.svg
    • Select the object
    • Navigate to the Export tab
    • Check "Export Selected Only"
    • Choose "Plain SVG:" and export.
