Wrong path representation of circles, becomes apparent when duplicating/cloning or reopening
Steps to produce minimal file:
- Open Inkscape
- Create an ellipse/circle (not an arc/chord/etc.)
- Set a stroke to something thick and set linecap to square (Fill and Stroke > Stroke Style)
- Artefact may be visible (see below), definitely visible on reopen.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open specified Inkscape file.
- Change to outline mode (Ctrl+5)
- Select a circle of the template shapes.
- Assign it a stroke. -- (Or select a circle with stroke)
- Duplicate it (Ctrl+D)
What happened?
A little rectangle corrupts the stroke/shape in the circle close node.
What should have happened?
Just duplicate it without any modification.
Notes
- I can solve it selecting all the duplicates affected with the
Select and transform objectstool. Next selectCreate circles, ellipses and arcstool and finally add a number to any of start/end entries so click onMake the shape a whole ellipse, not arc or segment. - This does not occurs with new ellipses (into or out the file). Just with the ellipses in the file attached.
-
Stroke to pathdoes not solve the situation, butObject to pathshows that the nodes are separated.
I would add that when "solving" as I mentioned above, this does not occurs.
