Bug Description
I'm using inkscape to annotate a floor plan I've created with cairo. The
size of the objects in my floor plan change when I change the page format.
For example, if I generate a square intended to print as 1" on a side, it
initially is the correct size when I open the svg file with inkscape.
However, after I pick a page format (eg: US Letter), the size of the square
changes significantly. I will attach some C code that generates an svg
file with a 1" square as an example. Somebody responded to a mailing list
query about this problem saying it was a problem with the viewport ...
deleting the viewport section of the svg file helps the problem, but the
scaling is then incorrect (but invariant with document format).
Could you please also attach a screenshot and/or svg output to demonstrate what you're seeing?
