Comment 4 for bug 859462

And some more testing, I renamed my Inkscape preference folder (so I could restore it afterwards if it wasn't the problem) so that my copy of 0.48.2 would create a new one to see if by some freak chance, there was any corruption in it. When I opened Inkscape again after doing that, I was able to reproduce this bug on the first attempt with the attached file.

Also, if this helps, my monitor is 1680x1050. Also, I was able to duplicate this when even if Inkscape wasn't maximized (just tested @ ~500x500 and still happened without fail).

And finally, the "i" has to be hidden partially by both rulers for this to happen on the top left. It doesn't happen with any other corner.
