clipping cloned objects (clones) has problems

[Bugbear6502]

I created a simple rectangle with a gradient

I cloned this rectangle, and created an oval object
inside it.

I set the oval as a clip on the cloned rectangle.

Moving (translating) the original (master)
rectangle moves the clip path (the oval) relative
to the cloned rectangle.

Desired behaviour; Moving the original should not
alter the clipped composite at all.

(Motivation: I was attemptiong to have
a "master" gradient, with
multiple clones, so I could edit the colours
of all the clipped gradients in one go)

I'm guessing this may be related to 1520625

It happens in 0.45 too. Possible workaround is creating clone of a clone,
and only clipping this second clone instead. Moving the original will now
have no effect on the clipped second clone, however moving the first clone
now will cause an identical problem.

Reproduced with Inkscape 0.48+devel r9994 on OS X 10.5.8

The clip-path is moved in the opposite direction of the translation applied to the original (overcompensation of a parent transform?). Does not happen if the to-be-clipped clone is wrapped in a group first (as can be done automatically in 0.48 per preference setting).

fixed in rev 14129

Fix backported to 0.91.x in rev 13830.

Don't know if this is solved with the committed fix, but also removing the original of a clipped clone (or unlinking it) undoes the clipping.
To reproduce:
- make eg. a blue rectangle
- clone the blue rectangle and displace it (so that original and clone do not overlap)
- make eg. a red circle on top of the clone
- select red circle + clone -> clip
- delete the original blue rectangle (or unlink the clone)
- unwanted effect: the red circle disappears and clipping is undone

Hi,

the bug is fixed in 0.92.2 for the test case submitted by the OP, but the problem is still there if the clipped clone has any transformation applied to it.

See the attached test file "clipped-clone-demo.svg".

Can this report be re-opened, or do I need to open a new one?

Thanks,
