The first thing is that you must be using the development version of Inkscape 0.46 - it's the version that introduces the tweak tool :tool_tweak:
Secondly, it's recommended to have a graphics tablet to use the calligraphy tool :tool_calligraphic:. It's not a requirement but it makes drawing smooth paths much easier. -- 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: 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.
