Bug Description

Flowed text does not keep its position according to its shape when copied. If the shape is groupped with this text and then copied and moved it behaves even worse. The flowed text is moved by some big offset into random? position.

I noticed nice progress in the newest 0.47 version, now copied flowed text correctly recognize its shape. in 0.46 when you copied flowed text it still stayed linked to source shape.

I read all the related bugs, but I think no one is describing exactly this problem. Sorry if i missed sth. I use latest 0.47 release.
I attach file with details.

Thanks for the good job,
Regards

Krzysztof

1) Flowed text does not keep its position according to its shape when copied.
reproduced with Inkscape 0.47 r22583 on OS X 10.5.8: in the pasted copy the frame of the text object is re-positioned to align with the linked shape, ignoring transforms of the original text object applied after using 'Text > Flow into Frame'.

2) un-grouping a translated (moved) group containing a text object (flowed into frame) and the shape used as frame
reproduced with Inkscape 0.47 r22583, known issue, see earlier bug #345594 “Flowed text displaced following grouping” and possibly others.

Could not reproduce the bug with the sample file on Inkscape 0.91 r13725 Windows 10 64-bit. It did affect me in the past on the previous version that I had installed, 0.46 or 0.47? The bug seems fixed? Great! :-)

Hi,

Copy of object with flowed text works fine.

However cloning of object with flowed text still works odd. Flowed text is
not cloned at all, and if you group it with shape and then clone all flowed
text's are linked to source shape not to cloned shapes. Could be that it is
not a bug but a feature ;) however it is not how it should behave in my
opinion.
