inkscape can't deal with this file generated by systemd-analyze

[Mattia Rizzolo]

Originally reported in Debian at https://bugs.debian.org/810792

Attached is a file generated by systemd-analyze 228, which is used to analyze and graph the boot process.
Chromium can open this file without a glitch, but inkscape shows only a white page.

This element causes Inkscape to render the document blank:

  <rect class="deactivating" x="133753.846" y="5360.000" width="1844674407246441.750" height="19.000" />

Notice the excessive width value - very likely not an intended size in the generated file. Note that other rects with 'class="deactivating"' have a zero width attribute value.

I do recall having seen this before (either in an earlier bug report, or possibly on IRC).

Based on tests with archived builds (on OS X 10.7.5):
- not reproduced with Inkscape 0.48.5 r10040,
- not reproduced with lp:inkscape rev <= 10578,
- reproduced with lp:inkscape rev >= 10579,
- reproduced with Inkscape 0.91 r13725,
- reproduced with lp:inkscape/0.92.x rev 15301;
the reported symptom (blank canvas triggered by geometry of a single element) seems to have been exposed with the merge of the rendering cache branch in r10579:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/revision/10579

Similar symptoms (blank canvas due to geometry/computed dimensions of a single object) are tracked in bug #1475875, bug #1565174.
