I'm having similar trouble using the Tweak -> Shrink tool. I'm not getting things disappearing, but the whole path gets gradually distorted when using the tool on only a small portion of the path. Shouldn't the parts of the path beyond the tweak brush be unaffected? Is this the same bug or should I file a different one?
More specifically, I'm trying to use this to get variable line-width. I'm creating 2-px-stroked lines with the pen tool, and then using Stroke-To-Path to convert it to a filled path, and then trying to use the Tweak Shrink/Grow path tool to add some variation to the line width. The whole path becomes distorted pretty quickly though, making this approach infeasible. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to inkscape in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/180708 Title: TWEAK / INSET / OUTSET TOOLS: Break paths / dissappearing paths Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool: Triaged Status in “inkscape” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Summary: Various tools including but not limited to the "Tweak Tool", "Inset / Outset Tool", and "Pattern Along Path" will break the target paths dramatically. In some cases this results in entire closed areas being deleted. With "Pattern Along Path", strokes are often missing in many areas. Platform: Ubuntu Linux 7.10 amd64. Version: .45+devel January 5, 2008. Frequency: Always (5/5 tries for manifestation.) Reproduction: Create a text object of several characters. Use the tweak tool to distort the object. After a movement, some shapes should disappear. Using the same text, convert to a path and apply as the "Pattern Along Path". Strokes will disappear in various areas. Comments: The manifestation of this bug appears to be related in some way. If not, the "Pattern Along Path" bug can be re-registered as a separate bug if required by the developers.
