Just wondering; did you a clipping mask on the gradient at all? Can you send over the svg file so it can be analysed?

You need to activate this button in the tool controls bar for the selection tool:

Thank you, very much, thats what it was, the little button I didnt have switched on. On the next version is it possible to have the buttons made bigger?? they are so small, thats not an excuse by the way, but my eye sight isn't the best.

Kind Regards

T.

The next major version release will have big improvements for icon handling.  I don't know for sure if it will address all the very tiny icons, but I guess it will.
