Bug #627134 “Cursor position markers are not cleared from rulers...” : Bugs : “inkscape” package : Ubuntu

Bug Description

Binary package hint: inkscape

Since upgrade to Maverick, rulers sometimes forget to refresh. It happens only on plain pointer move over canvas area. Middle mouse button panning triggers proper ruler repainting, for example. Image is attached to illustrate the problem.

Probably not inkscape's fault directly, this bug, but so far, I've only experienced problems there. Please reassign at will.

Regards,
Vlada

== Ubuntu stable release update (SRU) notes ==
* IMPACT/JUSTIFICATION: This bug makes the on-screen rulers in Inkscape effectively unusable for every Maverick user. Please see the large number of "affects me"/duplicate bugs. This is a major issue for a graphics package, in which precise measurements may be required. Backporting the fix would make a log of people happy!

* DETAILS OF FIX: The bug is fixed in the latest upstream version of Inkscape (0.48.1), which is a bug-fix only release. This version has been released in Natty as inkscape_0.48.1-0ubuntu1. The upstream fix was applied in bzr in r9725 of lp:inkscape/0.48.x

* PATCH DETAILS: The upstream patch has been attached to this report (see 9725_9724.diff). This patch fixes the single issue described in this report, and introduces no additional changes.

* TEST CASE: Start Inkscape; move mouse across canvas. Black triangular cursor marks are splattered across both rulers. [Expected result: A single cursor moves smoothly across each ruler to match the position of the mouse pointer]

* REGRESSION POTENTIAL: As far as I know, no new bugs have been reported concerning the rulers in Inkscape 0.48.1 since this patch was applied.

Does it happen with different themes too?

There is an old report about a similar issue with the rulers: Bug #165711 “Ruller bar messed up (Industrial theme)” seems to have been related to some GTK+ themes and solved by updating the theme engine(s).

The same here with the Nodoka theme. Since this kind of issue loads of times is caused by the X server: lspci for my video card gives me the following line:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

Killing compiz or setting the desktop effects to "none" doesn't make the triangles inside the ruler indicating the pointer's position to be removed before being moved to a new place, though. Refreshing the window or minimizing it won't help, either.

Error in rulers Edit (120.1 KiB, image/png)

Hello,

I installed the new version of Ubuntu (10.10 - 32 bits, Maverick Meerkat). Also, I installed the Inkscape.

Something wrong with the rulers with inkscape. Appear little black triangles along the horizontal and vertical rulers, not one for a ruler... many and more. This little triangle show the pointer position in the space area (See the attachment file).

I installed the Inkscape from the ubuntu center software.

Version of Inkscape: Inkscape 0.48.0 r9654

Thanks regards.

I experience this exact issue with a custom build of Inkscape 0.48.

Platform : Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris x86
GTK+-2.22.0 with gdk-pixbuf-2.22.0

Since it was ok before I assume it's an issue created or uncovered by GTK or related library.

I am also seeing the little black triangles fill in along the horizontal and vertical rulers. I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 last night for the first time and am running it in Virtual Box on a Dell laptop. I don't see this same behavior happening when I run Inkscape in Windows 7 on the same laptop.

I upgraded to Maverick from Lucid and I'm having this problem. I'm using 32-bit Ubuntu Desktop with a beta Nvidia graphics driver (I guess that's good to know since Brett's is ATI - maybe it's not related to graphics drivers, then?).

Glad it's been reported and is known about, means I'm not just special :D

I doubt it's Inkscape's fault though if it's happening in Rhythmbox too.

This problem is NOT Ubuntu specific, I've recently upgraded inkscape from package 0.48.0-1 to 0.48.0-3 (Now 0.48.0-4) and there where also some libraries in the upgrade, since then this bug appears, tried to return to 0.48.0-1 but I can't because of some library incompatibility

So no... It is NOT a video driver issue, it is definitively a bug somewhere else

Interestingly enough, a similar problem now occurs in Xara that did not before 10.10. If you scroll in any direction, outlines of the shapes remain in place and do not refresh until you scroll back again. Perhaps there is a relationship. Someone mentioned that Rhythmbox has a similar issue. OpenOffice Drawing does not.

seems appropriate in most cases, I think it might be worthwhile to report if Tobais' ppa version (https://launchpad.net/~towolf/+archive/ppa) resolves the issue. In my case it does.

Without the ppa, inkscape is not usable on Ubuntu 10.10 & it will be appreciated if the importance be marked as 'high' rather than low, et al. Just asking if 'others' had similar problems on the inkscape users list brought immediate responses of 'me to', so IMHO this fix is critical to the usability of Inkscape in Ubuntu 10.10. Note: as others report, I do not experience the problem in Inkscape 10.04 Ubuntu 10.04 (Installed: 0.48.0-1ubuntu1~lucid1).

As others in this bug report have noted; the bug does not appear to be graphics driver related.

The 64bit machine above uses:
       *-display:0
             description: VGA compatible controller
             product: Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller
             vendor: Intel Corporation
and the 32bit machine uses:
          *-display
                description: VGA compatible controller
                product: NV25GL [Quadro4 900 XGL]
                vendor: nVidia Corporation

These are vastly different graphics controllers/drivers and machines.

Please upgrade the importance & if at all possible integrate Tobais' modifications. Thanks.

The importance field refers to Ubuntu as a whole, not just to the Inkscape package. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance for details of what each importance means. Accordingly, I'll bump it up to "Medium" with the rationale that it is "A bug that has a severe impact on a non-core application." I don't think the importance can reasonably be set higher because this bug doesn't affect a core Ubuntu application.

There's not much point in patching the existing Ubuntu package right now. Inkscape 0.48.1 is due to be released very shortly, and this will fix numerous bugs. As soon as it is released, we can package it for Ubuntu.

@NoOp - Now that the bug has been fixed in Natty, we can look at applying a stable release update in Maverick/Lucid as described at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

@NoOp - It just dawned on me... this bug does not affect the Lucid (inkscape_0.47.0-2ubuntu2)! If you want to use an unofficial release from a PPA, then unfortunately we can't support it in this tracker.

As for Maverick (inkscape_0.48.0-1ubuntu1), the issue does exist, and we can look at an SRU. I will try building a patched version of the package.
