Comment 5 for bug 418505

Hi :)

Check this:

You get the same problem when resizing using the numeric inputs in the panel with the pad lock activated.

Ciao,
Lars

Ämne: [Bug 418505] Re: Issues when scaling circle objects

Hhm, I cannot reproduce this either on Linux. Probably I'm doing
something different than you. Could you maybe make a movie to make sure
that we're trying to reproduce this using the exact same steps? I know
that this is quite some effort, but I don't see an easy other way to
nail this bug.

Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool: New

Bug description:
Try this to create the issue:

1. If you create a small circle using the circle tool.
2. Use the start/end nodes to create a very limited arc (very small span between start and end points like 0.5 start and 1.5 end).
3. Scale the arc uniformly by 200% using the ctrl key or the pad look on the transform bar.
4. Try making the circle full by dragging the start/end nodes.
5. Ooops! You will now have an ellips...

The bug is less obvious when you use larger portions of the circle visible. It seems that Inkscape looses track of the actual circle dimensions (diameter/radius) when you limit its visible parts.

Very problematic when trying to use Inkscape for tech stuff.

Thanks,
Lars
