Known issues (r12922):
- Canvas: redraw issues (GTK2), flickering (GTK3)
  Screen recordings: https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/6314/
- Menubar: radio menu items in sub-menus are not updated on change
  (View -> Display mode, View -> Color Display mode)
- Menubar: check menu items don't sync with keyboard shortcuts (same verb)
  (also affects Unity's global menubar, see bug #1136344)
- Disabled dialogs:
  SVG Font Editor (crashes, see bug #1116468)
- Usability: 'File > Open Recent' on the global menubar has no tooltips
  (missing info about full path name of hovered item)

... and very likely countless more.


Mostly "fixed" (but it's a mess): clipboard handling on quit
- bundled Python-based script extensions no longer prompt with stderr via
  GUI when processing clipboard content on application quit.
- no tracebacks from failed UniConvertor attempts to convert clipboard
  content. 
- export to GIMP XCF, JessyInk ZIP, Synfig SIF disabled for clipboard content
