Public bug reported: I discovered this problem when working with many open documents. I use the program in the same way as we use "GIMP": different open files, and floating dialogs. The idea is that if I open a document, I can use the dialog boxes. If I raise another document (e.g. click on the taskbar), the dialog boxes should remain where they are, and I can use the same dialog boxes for a different document.
This does not work now: * when opening different files by launching inkscape by clicking in the file browser ("Nautilus"), the different open files do not share the same dialogs. This is unwanted! * when opening different files by opening the file within inkscape, there is this bug: 1. Open a drawing "A.svg" 2. Open some dialogs (e.g. line style) using "floating" dialogs. 3. Open another drawing "B.svg" by File->Open . The file "B.svg" is raised on top, the dialogs remain (OK) 4. Click on an object in this drawing 5. Now click on the line style dialog. Immediately, "A.svg" raises!! This is unwanted behaviour! h...@pc5021:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Release: 8.04 ** Affects: inkscape (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Floating dialogs with multiple documents https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317439 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
