Hello Everyone,

I've generated this SVG file programatically and now I want to edit it in Inkscape. When any layer is moved, its shape is simplified to the straight line shape (like point coords would be rounded by larger amount than needed). Is it by a mistake in my file or is there any limitation in Inkscape?

Welcome to InkscapeForum!

I can't seem to access your SVG file, for some reason. If you could attach it to a reply, I can have a look (although I'm not sure what the problem might be from your description). Or you could wait for someone else who can download it from there.

You have lowered the numeric precision (number of significant figures) in Inskcape to '1' - revert back to the default value (8) and the paths keep their original shape when moved in Inkscape:

Inkscape Preferences > SVG Output > Numbers > Numeric precision: 8

Wow, thanks for your analysis, it was exactly my problem! I probably set it recently when I tried to achieve the minimum file size. But this consequence is weird. I would never expected this cause. I was worrying this is a default Inkscape behaviour. I am relieved now
