Inkscape lost the ability to set alphas

[Kelvin Song]

For some reason it is impossible to set alphas in Inkscape now. If I drag the alpha slider anywhere, it snaps back to '255' on the color wheel or '100%' on the opacity slider. I am using the newest inkscape-trunk; the problem just appeared today.

My system is Ubuntu 13.04.

Probably the same type of regression as tracked in
- Bug #1208226 “trunk r12452: various regressions related to style attributes (incl. crash)”

Could you please check which revision this is (see name of the installed package)? AFAICT r12470 or later is not yet available as PPA (r12471 failed to build):

inkscape-trunk_1%3a0.48+devel+12468+38~raring1_amd64.deb

The one before it (inkscape-trunk_1%3a0.48+devel+12442+37~raring1_amd64.deb) doesn't have any problems.

Thank you for providing more details about the revision(s) of the installed package(s). Based on those numbers, this is likely a duplicate of bug #1208226 - the regressions introduced in r12452 have been fixed in r12470, which at the time was not yet available via PPA.

Could you confirm that the issue is fixed in the now available latest package (revision 12472)?

[Kelvin Song (kelvinsong)]

Yep, fixed! Thank you!!!

Thx for reporting back - linking your report as duplicate to bug #1208226 which tracked the recent regressions wrt to style attributes, and was fixed in r12470.
