Weird LaTeX text position on drawing after rendering is done

Summary:

If you render LaTeX with the built-in extension on a small drawing, you will have to zoom out a lot to find the rendered object.

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape
  • set page dimensions to 50mmx50mm
  • zoom to view the entire page
  • render a LaTeX formula, such as L_3 (I use the dialog to type the formula)
  • it will be far away from the current viewport

What happened?

LaTeX-based text objects are added too far away, in a weird fixed position, from the current viewport.

What should have happened?

The formula should be placed inside my viewport.

Version Info:

- Inkscape Version: 1.0.1 (3bc2e813f5, 2020-09-07)
- Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10
- Operating System version: Version 20H2
