Import svg file as new page - clones lose position and size
Summary:
This is only relevant for Inkscape 1.2.1 and it's support for multipage documents.
This behaviour is tested on two systems with identical results:
- Windows 10 21H1 + Inkscape 1.2.1 (9c6d41e4, 2022-07-14)
- Fedora 35, Cinnamon desktop/spin + Inkscape 1.2.1 (9c6d41e4, 2022-07-14)
Steps to reproduce:
- Have a normal Inkscape svg file that contains an object with several clones.
- Close any open Inkscape windows still open if any, open a new blank instance of Inkscape (probably doesn't matter)
- If Open file explorer in Windows (or Nemo if a Linux distro with Cinnamon) , navigate to the svgz file and drag'n drop it into Inkscape program window.
- In the dialog box, choose «Add SVG as new page(s) in the current file».
Expected results
One should expected all objects with identical size and location in the document.
What did actually happened?
Clones get misplaced and also each of them seems to be smaller. The clones seems to have a tendency of being placed more to right side and being more spread.
