Resizing page to content and Undo misplaces the grid

[Frank]

When resizing the page to the content and pressing Ctrl + Z, the grid is displaced. Thus all Objects placed on grid are no more on the grid.

One solution could be to ask the user at resizing, if the grid should be altered with respect to the page (as now), or adapted, so the origin isn't equal to the bottom left corner of the page, but the grid lines would be at the same place as before (relative to all objects, not the page borders).

not reproduced on Windows 10, Inkscape 0.92pre4 15278, using the attached sample file.

could you provide an svg file that demonstrates the problem?

Ok, I tried again. When restoring the former size by Ctrl + Z, the grid is misplaced, as you can see in the screenshot. But I recognized, that this is resolved when opening the file again – so you won't see anything misplaced, when you open my file.

Here's the screenshot.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open attached file.
2. "File" -> "Document Properties".
3. (On the "Grids" tab, note that "Origin X" and "Origin Y" are zero.)
4. On the "Page tab", click "Resize page to drawing or selection".
5. (On the "Grids" tab, note that "Origin X" and "Origin Y" are still zero.)
6. "Edit" -> "Undo". The grid is now misaligned.
7. (On the "Grids" tab, note that "Origin X" and "Origin Y" are both -1,73550 mm where they should be zero, as they were before step 4.)
