(Get the code!)
I have retested with version 0.46 on debian Lenny.
After some experimentation I have narrowed it down to a problem related to the stroke width.
The problem occurs when an object which determines one or more of the boundaries of the group has a non-zero stroke width.
I can reproduce it using the following steps:
- Startup Inkscape
- Draw an object (e.g. a rectangle)
- Set its stroke width to something non-zero (preferably not too small)
- Draw a second object (needed to be able to create a group; use non-zero stroke width)
- Create a group containing both objects
- Select the group
- Perform the resize by entering values in the W & H boxes in the icon-bar (see picture 'resize.png' included with the original report)
The group now has different sizes than entered. Re-entering the desired sizes a few times results in progressively better approximations.
The problem also occurs when resizing using the object handles. While dragging, the W & H boxes show the new sizes. After releasing the mouse button, the new dimesions are different from the last values shown.
When the stroke width of the objects is zero, the problem does not occur.
