inkscape:version changes behaviour

[Johannes Kalliauer]

Inkscape handels SVG containing inkscape:version differnetly:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<svg width="2760" height="1405" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" inkscape:version="0.91 r13725" xmlns:inkscape="http://www.inkscape.org/namespaces/inkscape">
 <flowRoot style="font-size:40px;"><flowRegion><rect x="1301.6" y="983.49" width="114.63" height="43.179"/></flowRegion><flowPara>202017</flowPara></flowRoot>
 <flowRoot style="font-size:40px;"><flowRegion><rect x="1020" y="964" width="391" height="61"/></flowRegion><flowPara>Kernenergie 2017</flowPara></flowRoot>
</svg>

Deleting the `inkscape:version="0.91 r13725"` leads to a different rendering

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<svg width="2760" height="1405" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:inkscape="http://www.inkscape.org/namespaces/inkscape">
 <flowRoot style="font-size:40px;"><flowRegion><rect x="1301.6" y="983.49" width="114.63" height="43.179"/></flowRegion><flowPara>202017</flowPara></flowRoot>
 <flowRoot style="font-size:40px;"><flowRegion><rect x="1020" y="964" width="391" height="61"/></flowRegion><flowPara>Kernenergie 2017</flowPara></flowRoot>
</svg>

not reproduced on Windows 10, Inkscape 0.92.3 (2405546, 2018-03-11)

the file mitVersion.svg produced a popup message and I responded with the option "This file contains digital artwork"

- which version are you running?
- did you get a popup message warning you that this is a legacy file?
- if you are using 0.91 you may want to upgrade to 0.92.3
