Mirror symmetry with clipped shapes causes (infinite?) multiplication of clipping path
#### Summary: When I use a clipping path inside a mirrored group (with LPE mirror symmetry), the clipping path gets duplicated somehow, leading to a freeze. #### Steps to reproduce: - open Inkscape - create a shape with the pen tool and group it. - add a mirror symmetry LPE to the group. - enter the group, create a new shape with the pen tool above the previous one. - clip the first shape with the new one. - at this point, if you try to edit the clipping shape with the pen tool, you will notice that the initial path is now made of several sub-paths all identical to the original (see screenshot/attached file). You can clearly see all the duplicated path by doing so: - release the clip. - select the clipping shape and break it apart. - result: there are many paths instead of just one. #### What happened? The clipping path, because of the mirror symmetry, is somehow duplicated, causing a growth of the size of the file and an eventual freeze. #### What should have happened? The clipping path should stay intact and unique. The following file has been created with the previous instructions (so if you edit/break apart the clipping path you should see the sub-paths): ![inkcape-bug-clip-mirror.svg](/uploads/1f06873539950b457d949c9460f5ec64/inkcape-bug-clip-mirror.svg) Here is also a screenshot: ![inkcape-bug-clip-mirror](/uploads/440ca8adcde324a30c6e53a86cdaa8eb/inkcape-bug-clip-mirror.png) <!-- Attach the sample file(s) highlighting the issue, if appropriate. --> #### Version info Inkscape 1.3.2 (091e20ef0f, 2023-11-25, custom) GLib version: 2.78.3 GTK version: 3.24.39 glibmm version: 2.66.6 gtkmm version: 3.24.8 libxml2 version: 2.12.3 libxslt version: 1.1.39 Cairo version: 1.18.0 Pango version: 1.51.0 HarfBuzz version: 8.3.0 OS version: Manjaro Linux
