Bug Description
I use Windows XP SP3.
I made a family tree file in Inkscape 47 and was happy with the result. When 48 arrived I tried to use the new polyline connectors but I lost the facility of having them avoid objects. I then deleted all connectors from my 47 file, selected and copied all boxes and pasted them into a new 48 file.
I then marked objects to be avoided by connectors and specified the type of connectors.
The connectors took unpredictable paths, not always the shortest. When I saved the file after getting it to near what I wanted and then re-opened it my work was undone, The connectors which I had brought to the shortest paths were now, again, snaking along longer paths.
Some connectors start from the centre of an object, others from the margin of the same object. I have been unable to understand the logic of why this happens.
I am open to the suggestion that the bad workman blames his tools but I was much more successful in 47.
