negative y coordinate in landscape format

[Gerd Junghans]

If I choose in document preferences landscape format and create an object link (line) and move the line a little bit (any direction) by cursor, so it will jump down on negative Y coordinate (-300px).
If I move object link by cursorkeys on keyboard, it only jump's down for -300px, it doesn't matter if I move it up or down, it only moves into negative direction, but just in the landscape format A4 and all other formats in landscape.

If turn the page in high size, so I can move the object link normally.

Best regards
Gerd

Please attach a sample SVG file exposing the behavior.

> and create an object link (line) and move the line a little bit
Do you mean drawing a connector line with the connector tool and then immediately disconnect it from the objects it connected? If you do not need connectors that follow the objects when the objects are moved, draw the lines with the normal path tools (pencil, pen) and use snapping to place the start/end nodes. The regular paths should not expose the same displacement after resizing the page or changing its orientation.

Most likely the same issue as
Bug #576815 “after resizing document beyond the default A4 page size, moving connectors becomes buggy”:
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/576815>

which is caused by incorrect handling of disconnected connector lines inside transformed groups:
Bug #479553 “Moving shape with connectors, disconnected ends of connectors go wild”:

Hello,

I send you a SVG file, where you can see what the problem is.
Please move the object line on positive Y coordinate and try what's
happens.
(for example, move the line on Y coordinate 0px and let off object, in
my case the object slip down)

With my progamm, the object line is sliding down in negative Y
coordinate ( minus 300px, or minus 80 mm)

My inkscape version is 0.48

I hope you can reproduce the bug in programm and fix it soon.

With best regards
Gerd Junghans

Note that if you don't need the special features of connector lines, don't use the connector tool to draw simple lines, use the pencil tool (freehand) or pen tool (bezier) instead. Thus you can avoid this bug completely.
