Comment 0 for bug 1460057

I've noticed some strange behavior while importing .svg images containing a "cross-hatching" effect (the images are plots generated by matplotlib). When I <Open> such an image directly in Inkscape, the hatching displays correctly, but if I <Import> the image into an existing project then the hatching does not appear.

To reproduce the problem, create a new document then try to import this example image into it: http://imgh.us/test_hatching.svg. The same image will render correctly if you open it directly, or if you copy-paste it into the document rather than going via the <Import> dialog.

I can reproduce the bug in v0.91 and in a recent trunk build (0.91.0+devel+14178+59~ubuntu15.04.1).
