Bug Description
Up to now I was successfully working with version 46. ..... I installed version 47....
In this new installed versions (47-2 and 47-3) :
using WIN-XP pro after loading an *.svg- file (self built one) and trying to SAVE AS in both program versions 47-2 and 47-3
PC was blocked .... HANGING ( no commands were accepted), I had to kill process !
I deleted this new installation and activated the old version 46, here SAVE AS is working correctly with the same files ??
Although it appears to be hanging, what is really happening is more insidious: the dialog is invisible. You can cancel the invisible dialog with any of the following:
- Esc
- Alt-f4
- Alt-space close
You can even save the file, you just can't see what you are doing. For instance I can click File->Save as, type "C:\foo.svg" and press enter, and the file is created the titlebar is updated as "C:\foo.svg - Inkscape" and inkscape becomes responsive again.
Clearly inkscape has switched to native file dialogs (because you are far far more brave than I), is there a command line switch to force GTK dialogs?
