Comment 6 for bug 1707368

This issue seems fixed in current master, i.e. Inkscape 0.92+devel (4c394ff20a, 2017-10-14).

There's still a transform of "translate(-2.5,-2.5)", but that is to be expected as Inkscape rescales the canvas to fit the (remaining) drawing by default (and needs to move the object to the upper left corner in the process).

If somebody can figure out which commit fixed it in master we can backport it to 0.92.x.
