I recently updated to Inkscape version 1.0.2-2 (e86c870879, 2021-01-15) For Windows 7 64-bit. When I take two path objects and perform the Path --> Intersection operation, the bounding box of the resulting object initially fits the newly created path's constraints. When I perform an operation with the new object, however, the bounding box changes to the composit bounding box of the two original objects. This makes selecting the new objects frustrating because the selection tool considers the new bounding box to be the actual size of the object.
I am wondering if this is a result of my opening a file that was originally created in 0.92 in the updated Inkscape.
Any insight would be appreciated! I've attached the file in question for review. I should mention that the objects in the actual drawing page are not the troublesome objects; the issue lies with the construction to the right of the page boundary, the blue shape.
I'm not sure if this is a single problem or a problem which reoccurs ?
To fix this particular SVG and the blue shape. I would save as plain svg, choose file>revert. Then select all and ungroup everything.
You could also fix the blue shape only by using path>union or by clicking the shape twice to trigger the node tool, then Ctrl + A to select all nodes then on the node command bar add nodes. That adds nodes but seems to fix it.
If you have installed Inkscape 1.02 over 0.92 without uninstalling first, it can sometimes create problems on windows generally, so don't open anymore files until you have sorted that out.
I may be an idea to do two things to stop it happening again.
Uninstall Inkscape completely.
Navigate to C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\inkscape
I did a full uninstall and clean install, so I doubt its an issue of one version overlaying another. I will try some of these fixes for my "legacy files". I haven't been able to get the issue to recur when making new files, at least so far. I'll update this thread if anything else comes up, thanks!
There is some kind of weirdness, that I would share with the devs. The file opens and behaves as expected in .092.2 (and I believe basic features would be backward/forward compatible).
ink_ext_XXXXXX is a typical Inkscape temporary filename that usually is discarded when an extension is completed. It might be an operation failed, partially corrupting the file.

Delete the entire Inkscape folder and reinstall.
inklinea,

I had another look at the svg code.
There seems to be a problem with the grouping.
The inkscape layer ink_ext_XXXXXX is problematic.
If you choose Object>Objects, then click the little stack icon for the layer to convert from a layer to a group.
Then Object>ungroup
Seems to fix the file :)
