Bug Description
Summary: Using the "Fill Tool" results in the same error repeatedly, despite a fillable area. "Area is not bounded, cannot fill." This is a regression and was happening intermittently over the past couple of weeks. The tool will not fill at all now.
Architecture: Linux amd64 (Ubuntu 8.04)
Version: Inkscape 0.46+devel, built May 14 2008
Hi,
I can confirm this problem on Ubuntu 8.04 i386 32bit,
inkscape 0.46+devel, built Jun 5 2008 (subversion).
I tried to reproduce this on several occasions and understand some rules of it.
If the file has only one layer, you can use bucket fill successfully.
If the file has multiple layers and you click the upper one, you can use bucket fill successfully.
On the other hand, if the file has multiple layers and you click the lower one, you can never use bucket fill. Inkscape says "Area is not bounded. cannnot fill the object."
And once this occured, it suddenly became impossible to use bucket fill absolutely in any case. Even if the layer is deleted, the bug won't cease.
I tried reinstalling and deleting preferences.xml, neither has any effect.
