Bug Description

Inkscape 0.92.0+66~ubuntu16.04.1
To reproduce:
- on new file, make an object (eg. circle)
- in the new "objects" dialog, change its blend mode to anything else than "normal" (tested with multiply, screen, darken) -> the selection box (dotted rectangle around the object when selected) becomes bigger. (The bounding box seems to remain the same, eg. for snapping).

The blend mode adds an SVG filters that applies to a filter effect region which is bigger than the object. But while it's necessary for some filters (blur, displacement map...), I'm not sure we really need it here.
Could a filters expert confirm?
