When reporting bugs, there is no field to specify the version and the OS!

I'm using 0.48 on WinXP.

Not reproduced with Inkscape 0.48 and 0.48+devel r9812 on OS X 10.5.8 (both with cairo 1.8.10)

Please keep in mind that 'Cairo PNG' is an experimental Cairo surface, available in Inkscape for testing purposes of cairo-based export formats, and not intended to be used to export Inkscape SVG files to high-quality bitmaps (PNG): Use 'File > Export Bitmap' instead which deploys Inkscape's internal renderer.

@uwestoehr - Are you still affected by the issue with recent Inkscape versions? (The most recent one can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/files/inkscape/0.48.3.1/)

Thanks, but why are you still advertising version 0.48.2 at the startpage of inkscape.org?

> Are you still affected by the issue with recent Inkscape versions?

No, the bug is fixed in Inkscape 0.48.3.

Thanks for reporting back!
I'm closing the report now, but don't hesitate to reopen if you run into the same issue with a future version.

To cut a long story short, 0.48.3.1 is not *officially* out (mainly because there's no OSX package available)...
