Extension Motion has unexpected result on path with multiple subpaths

Summary:

... When I use the Motion extension under the Generate Path tool, there are extra paths generated that I don't need.

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape
  • Create Text
  • Make text a path by selecting text and choosing Object to Path
  • Ungroup the text to individual letters
  • Select Union under Path menu to make it one path
  • Select Motion... under Extensions/Generate Path
  • Set the magnitude and angle (in example I used 20 and 45)

What happened?

... Extra artifacts are created behind the path.

What should have happened?

... It should've created a 3D effect without the extra artifacts.
