Problem with export in bitmap with some vector

[Autiwa]

For example with the image in attachment, the export in bitmap doesn't render the image correctly. The "circle" for the closed eye is missing (a part of it)

I can confirm this in build 20126 on linux.

Other paths I draw in that area aren't affected.

I changed the path in question and it still happens, also duplicated it and moved the nodes around, the "phantom clipping" occurs at the same place, as if clipped with the same object.

prkos: Could you please take a look bug #299163 and tell if you think it's the same than this or it's something different?
Sounds pretty similar, and I think it should be merged if it is the same.

It's very hard to say, this example does export ok if I lower the export resolution even just a bit (from 111 to 101). In that I guess it's similar to the other bug.

But this path is simple (only 2 nodes!), i'ts not a combined path, and it doesn't seem to be rotated (there's only transform translate on the layer).

So far I only see the similarity in faulty higher res export.

I have problems with that too. First I thought it only affected the screen refresh but exporting the Image shows that this is a general problem.
One object is not correctly drawn, and this object contains a lot of points, vectors, vertices. maybe that has to do something with the problem?!

So first this object were in fact 5 or 6 but after having trouble with the export I unite them to one single object. First it works and the object could be exported but after scaling this object (both axes in relation to each other) the problems reoccur.

Reproduced with Inkscape 0.48.4 on OS X 10.7,
Not reproduced with Inkscape 0.48+devel r12170

This is one of the many known issues with the old renderer in current stable versions, and will be fixed in the next major release (0.49) which uses the new cairo-based renderer (on-canvas and for bitmap export).

A workaround for stable versions like Inkscape 0.48.4 is to insert additional node(s) into the curves (path segments) which disappear or are only partially exported at certain (often higher) export resolutions.
