Can't tab from width to height on commands toolbar

Postby another_inkscape_user » Thu Oct 01, 2009 7:03 am

Using version .46 on Linux.

When I want to manually enter the size and position of an object, and I try to tab between x/y/width/height of the object on the toolbar, usually on the jump from width to height, the value in height gets highlighted, but if I try to enter a number, either nothing happens, or if the number's 1-6, Inkscape interprets it as a zoom shortcut.

The weird thing is that this isn't consistent---sometimes I can tab between x, y, width, and height like you'd expect, but most of the time x to y to width works, and then width to height doesn't. I can't figure out what the difference is.

So, does anyone have any idea what's going on here? Is there some setting I can change, or is this actually some sort of bug?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Seems to be fixed in dev for linux but not for Windows, anyway the devs are aware of it https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/363000

Thanks! I guess I'll just wait for the next release.

Yeah, I reported that one. :)
