Comment 6 for bug 1756496

Could it be my cpu/ram are not robust enough for something? The weird
thing is though it is only a few images not all of them! I have had similar
problem with patterns I've created with the pattern maker extension. So
much so that I stopped using it.

I suppose I should just go in and remove my preference file. I had a
problem with aligning clipped objects and your team had no problem and
suggested I reset my preferences. If that doesn't work I'll try
reinstalling Inkscape. I have done that a few times already so not sometime
I look forward too.

Regards,
Brenda
