Comment 1 for bug 372145

Confirmed on Windows XP, 0.46.
"Fit page to selection" moves the object to the origin point (0,0) of the page. If this point is out of your window, you don't see it.

But the behavior is different with the development version (tested with build 21236), and the selection doesn't move from it's original position on the window (the object position is correctly set to 0,0).

As a fix has already been committed, I'm surprised not to find another report about it.
Feel free to mark this report duplicate if you find an older one.
