connector lines groups misplaced when opening 0.47 file in 0.48

[Rafael Z. Frantz]

I'm not sure if its a bug, but it seems to be, so I'm opening this report.
While testing version 0.48 I've noticed that when opening an svg file created in version 0.47 in 0.48, some elements (connector lines groups, in this specific case) that I had grouped with a main figure with other elements (rectangles, circles, etc..), now the arrows appears far away from the main figure in the canvas.
Enclosed you can find the svg file I am opening in 0.48 and how connectors get misplaced.

Similar issue as described in comment #4 of bug #552289:

Initial display of the SVG file on-canvas renders unconnected connector lines inside transformed groups incorrectly:
- the unconnected connector lines are drawn as if they had not been transformed according to to group transform
- 'undo' after a random edit [1] restores the rendering as intended (i.e. the drawing looks the same as initially when opened in 0.47)

needs to be verified:
regression possibly due to changes between r8853 and r8865

[1] e.g. hide 'Layer 1', undo

Possibly related to bug #510618 because only undoing the first edit after opening the file seems to trigger the correct recalculation of the misplaced unconnected connector lines.

oops, had wrong status.

[su_v (suv-lp)]

The displacement of the unconnected connector lines re-occurs every time their parent group is transformed (moved, rotated,etc.). Only workaround for the moment to allow continued work with the grouped objects in Inkscape 0.48 seems to manually remove the attribute 'inkscape:connector-type' of each unconnected connector line (i.e. those without 'inkscape:connection-start' and 'inkscape:connection-end' attributes).

Hi ~suv,

  The workaround solves the problem.

Thanks!

No longer reproduced with Inkscape 0.48.1 r9752 and 0.48+devel r9991.
Linking as duplicate to bug #552289 (fixed in trunk in rev 9988, as well as in the branch for 0.48.1).
