Bug Description
It appears that somewhere along the line
extensions -> modify path -> convert to dashes
broke for curved paths (it still works for lines, at least). (Windows XP SP 3, 32bit)
In the example (attached) select any or all of the curved dotted/dashed paths and try "convert to paths". In current trunk
they turn into a solid line. Earlier versions (a month or so old) leave them dotted/dashed, but they are not converted. At least the "path->break apart" doesn't do anything.
I think the making them solid is the result of an earlier patch (can't find it at the moment, A. Penner put it in) that automatically changed the stroke after conversion to a solid line. Here, since they are not being broken up into dashes, the result is that the whole thing becomes solid.
This used to work (will post an older example where it had been applied.)

This is an older example, the blue dotted/dashed circles in the "separate paths" column had been copied from the "dashed path" column, "convert to dashes" and then "break apart".
Note that in this example the "dashed path" column was erroneously drawn at something other than 100% opacity. Setting
the opacity to 100% doesn't help though.
Trunk as far back as 9819 had the problem where curves could not be converted to separate dashes.
