It seems like the problem is related to importing .ai files (which, in my understanding are built like pdf). the rest of the office uses illustrator so there's the issue.

I'm having this weird issue with inkscape, actually, it's been around since I started using it (about 2 months ago). Every so often when I move text objects and more so when I paste them from either another inkscape file or within the same document they flip horizontally. Is this a bug or am I doing...
