Somewhere along the version changes, Inkscape appears to have an issue when an object has a gradient. It shows now in version 1.3, but also in earlier 1.1 and later versions.

The issue shows up quickly with radial gradients, but also with a linear gradient. When one moves or scales an object with a gradient, the gradient's definition remains in the original location - it does not move with the object.

After moving, and resizing an object, one must go back and find the object's gradient pointers, and slide them - plus scale them to the new location and size. I heavily work with gradients, and this issue has become very frustrating.

Is anyone else encountering this issue? Is there a workaround?

Thanks,

There´s a "switch" for that:

Sorry for the ignorance:  ...where is that switch?

I guess the earlier versions of Inkscape had that switch defaulted to On. Is there a way to change the Preference to always have it on as well?

Barry

Sorry - I found the switch it was in the Tool bar.

But is there a way to always have it turned on for all gradients?

BarryG

From my experience this setting will be recognised as a last saved state; means it will stay put unless you change it.

okay - appreciate for the guidance.

I guess somewhere along the way it some how was changed to off, and that has thrown me completely off

Many thanks again,

Barry

Glad you´re back on track. 😁
