Comment 2 for bug 1756714

I created a small test SVG with a normal text and a flowing text and only the normal text (attached). Only tspan shows up in --query-all output, not any of the flow elements.

$ inkscape --query-all /Users/user/Pictures/flowtext.svg

$ inkscape --version
Inkscape 0.92.2 5c3e80d, 2017-08-06

Also tested on my Debian laptop running Inkscape 0.92.1 r15371 with the exact same result.

Tested the same file to a raspberry pi with some Raspbian version and its packaged version of Inkscape 0.92.1 r15371 with the exact same result.

Installed Inkscape 0.92.2 (64-bit, 5c3e80d) on my gaming PC with Windows 10 to test there and it does not output any flow elements, however command-line output seems to suddenly die with two I/O Error: Permission denied so not sure if it completed running.

But then I tried to create a new very similar file on the Windows machine and ran the command on that file. The flowRoot shows up. But again the output suddenly stops after a few lines with Permission Denied.

It is possible that if I did not get the I/O Errors then all the flow-elements would always be present with the windows version. But they are definitely missing in 0.92.2 on OSX and on 0.92.1 on my Linux computers.
