Bug Description
I have generated a svg document in a browser based on data.
When I copy the svg string from this document and paste it into a new file making it a .svg file and open it in inkscape all rotated objects does not get the right transfrom matrix set and the text end up offset from its correct position.
I am using the Inkscape 0.48.4 r9939 build for windows 7. (the official current version)
If you open this string in a browser all text is placed correctly under the labelmarker, but when opening in inkscape the are misplaced.
I have found that if I open the file in Aillustrator it looks like in inkscape.
So this may not be a bug but a flaw in my generated document.
It appears that whenever I use "mm" to set the placement in the document -> the text is transformed wrong. changing to "px" as unit solves the problem.
When I open the raw svg file in a browser I can sometimes reproduce the "wrong transformation" artefact but most of the time all browsers show the text correctly.
Maybe this information will help shed light on the issue but it seems this is a different interpretation of units between inkscape + illustrator and browsers.
