2015-02-26 20:38:12 Patrick Storz description The undocked Document Properties dialog is not exclusive to a single document but allows to change settings of all opened documents (depending on which window is focused). This might be OK, but does not work correctly: * Values in the UI are not updated with respect to the currently focused window. * It's possible to open multiple Document Properties dialogs (which all work on all documents) Exemplary steps to reproduce the issue(s): 1. Open one instance of Inkscape ("New document 1") Open Document Properties dialog for "New document 1" and set width to 100 mm. Close Document Properties dialog. 2. Open a second document ("New document 2") via "File -> New document" Open Document Properties dialog for "New document 2" and set width to 200 mm. 3. Focus "New document 1" and and observe first potential issue: The UI values in the Document Properties dialog from step 2 do not change... 4. Go back to Document Properties dialog, change width to 333 mm and observe second potential issue: The width of ("New document 1") changes although the Document Properties dialog was opened for "New document 2" and still shows the values for the second document. 5. Close Document Properties dialog. 6. Focus "New document 1" again, open Document Properties dialog and observe third issue: The Document Properties dialog for "New document 1" still shows the old width of 100 mm (from step 1) However it is actually set to 333 mm (the value from step 4). If you don't close the Document Properties dialogs between steps you're even ending up with multiple Document Properties dialogs and every one of them can change every dialog but they can therefore show totally inconsistent values. All of the above works for other settings in Document Properties dialog, too. The tests were performed with Inkscape 0.91 on Windows 7.
